Voices With Soul

This Luton based family band are composed of members, Grace Campbell aged 42, Hildia Campbell aged 37 and Corene Campbell aged 25. Grace works as a bus driver and hairdresser, Hildia as an IT student and singer and Corene as a student, cinema supervisor and playworker. Both Grace and Hildia are sisters while Corene is Grace's daughter. The trio formed about six months ago and have sang at church ceremonies and weddings. Hildia has had wider success having understudied Mica Paris and Chaka Khan. She also appeared on the backing vocals to 'Wings Of A Dove' by band Madness and appeared in the West End musical, 'Smokey Joe's Café'. Hildia spoke of their fashion: "From the beginning, we have been co-ordinated. Simon [Cowell] said we had an image problem but we wanted him to be more specific. There is always room for improvement." Grace spoke of the band's inspiration: "We are doing this in memory of our dad, Egbert who died eight years ago. He was a singer and a musician and he always wanted to bring out the best in us."

What’s the best thing about your judge?

Why are you glad you didn’t get the other two?
