unsignedAct

This week's Orange unsignedAct on T4 has been rescheduled due to Channel 4 Racing - so there will be no show on 16th November. However - next Sunday on the 23rd November you'll be able to catch both shows 3 and 4 in one fun-filled day - starting at 11:20am, so make sure you tune in.

Alternatively you can be an early bird and catch every show first on 4Music on Thursdays.

If you can't wait until the 23rd to see the action from show 3, check out unsignedAct uncut on our blog now, where you can see full performances from the acts in the show. Check back all this week for further updates.

Welcome to the Orange unsignedAct live blog – join us while we deliberate over the acts about to hit our screens – tell us if you think the judges are right on the money or more wrong than Phil Collins in a pair of Speedos.

Enjoy the show - lets get things started.

If you’re wondering exactly who is responsible for the Orange unsignedAct theme tune - and would like more details on how you can obtain their single and catch them live... check out Ten Bears now.

Hailing from Manchester, Ten Bears have been described as one of the hotly tipped groups for 2009.

Lead by the casual charm of 21 year old Sam Hammond, Ten Bears have been causing a stir around Manchester music venues. Their energetic rock ‘n’ roll delivers pop slices such as ‘Charlie’ and ‘To The Moon’ - and brings to life the tales of the Ten Bears themselves; Kris Hudson, Luke Daniel, Zoob, Tim and Sam.

Their debut single - ‘Dirt On The Radio’ is released on 19th January 2009.

They are currently in the studio working with Ric Levy (Yeah Yeah Yeah’s/Mystery Jets), and head out on their first UK tour in November (dates below).

Catch them while you can - go to the official website, www.tenbearsmusic.com for more info.

Cutting, brutally honest and as subtle as a kick in the gonads – our second guest judge spends her spare time ripping words like ‘nice’ out of the dictionary.

Amanda Ghost smashes her way onto the judging panel for show two, holding the credentials to make people sit up and take note of her candid comments.

She’s carved out a hugely successful career co-writing songs which have gone be worldwide smash hits – like Beyonce and Shakira’s six million selling ‘Beautiful Liar” and James Blunt’s ‘multi-chart topping You’re Beautiful.’ She’s also worked with stars such Kayne West, Ian Brown and Whitney Houston, picked up two Ivor Novellos for “Song of The Year” and had multiple Grammy nominations.

So, Amanda knows what it takes to be a success. Her formidable presence on the panel means the next show will be a quake-in-your-boots blinder.

Miss it at your peril.
