Last year
In 2006 well over a hundred bands from Coventry and Warwickshire entered our competition to play at the Godiva Festival in Memorial Park. After a selection process by music industry professionals, twenty bands were picked to play in four heats. With voting split 50/50 between judges and the audience, eight bands then won through to the Godiva Festival.
They were Decatone, The Great Blind Degree, Death By Miss Adventure, Fiori, Trailer, Hobo Exile Hotel, 7th Wave and What About Cube?
Eight-piece funk band Decatone were triumphant in BBC Coventry & Warwickshire's public vote to become the first G Factor winners. This meant they got the chance to play on the main stage at Godiva along with the likes of Mercury Rev, The Cooper Temple Clause and The Enemy.
