We’re 3 weeks into the new series of Britains Got Talent and the whole world knows who Susan Boyle is following her 25 trillion You Tube hits, but the group that caught my attention last night was one cruelly treated by the judges, and given only scant airtime: The Synth Sisters
For those that missed it, The Synth Sisters are an all-female keyboard troupe who attempted to bontempi their way onto the bill of The Royal Variety Performance with a display of synchronised, instrumental music. By way of spectacle they occasionally engaged in some vaguely disinterested ‘one-hand-in-the-air’ keyboard moves, whilst not a single one of them looked up from their keyboards towards the audience. It was pretty piss-poor, but somehow compelling, and worth a place in the next round.
