Sweet Musica plays at Talent Trail
The vocal duo from Tingley, West Yorkshire, lit up the stage with their renditions of Hallelujah, Ain't That A Kick in The Head and The Prayer.
The pair – Adam James and Lisa Pearson – not only belted out their chosen songs but amused the audience with their ad-lib comedy, namely referring to each other as Coronation Street characters.
Lisa, who by day works as a national account manager for Sainsbury's, said: "We are really pleased to go through to the final.
"We have only recently started up as a duo, so were not sure if we were ready to enter the competition this year but we have already had a booking off the back of our last heat."
Also securing a place in the semi-final were Dirty Wish.
The five-piece band, who were the first on stage at the Dee Street Social Club, off Hessle Road, west Hull, kicked off their set with Dakota, followed by Maggie May and All Right Now.
Speaking after the judges' revealed the results, the band summed up their emotions as "ecstatic", adding: "We never thought we would suit this type of competition so we are really glad to get through."
The event marked the last of the four semi-finals of Talent Trail 2009, which is sponsored by Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott and DevilfishPoker.com.
Each of the eight acts who performed on Tuesday had made it through as winners of previous heats so the competition was fierce.
And the audience seemed to appreciate the standard with each performer being given a loud round of applause at the end of their set.
The acts who did not make it through to the final were Dean Moon, Rachel Clark, Sweet Harmony, Haydn Woods, Russ X and Samantha.
Tickets are now on sale for the Grand Final of the competition, which takes place at Hull City Hall on Wednesday, May 20.
All money raised through this year's competition will go to the Echoes Foundation.
Tickets cost £8 and are available from the Hull City Hall Box Office or by calling (01482) 226655.
