Queen Extravaganza: Round 2 Finalists Revealed

"Musicians are the best bunch of people in the world!"

"Watching all the auditions has been a moving and fascinating experience for me. It's hard to believe the level of talent applying. It also brought an incredible sense of  'extended family' to me, seeing and hearing so many people putting their heart and soul into performing our songs."

"All I can do is thank you all for your amazing efforts, belief and patience. Selecting a shortlist has been a difficult and subjective procedure. The standard was so high we have ended up with a higher number of successful second round entrants than we anticipated.  But to those not on the list please never lose faith in yourselves!"

"Thank you all from the bottom of my heart."

Onwards - to the "extravaganza"!

Roger Taylor
