Ladysmith Celtic rock band Skellig won its Hard Rock Rising battle of the bands March 1 at the Hard Rock Café in Toronto and will perform this Thursday to try to earn a chance to represent Canada in the world final.
Skellig made it to the final battle of the bands after finishing in the top nine in online voting in the Hard Rock Rising competition and then winning its battle of the bands March 1. The band returns to Toronto this week to compete in the final and earn an opportunity to perform at Hard Rock Calling in London.
