Key 103 presenter Adam Catterall said “It’s going to be a superb evening in Manchester, hopefully the sun will be shining and we’ll still be enjoying a heatwave and a drink whilst watching the show. Paolo will be great and I know that ‘A Band Called Jack’ will have a great time down there, they were absolutely buzzing when they found out that they’d won this opportunity, against some really strong artists. We’re looking forward to seeing them perform.”
