Welsh of the West End are, no doubt, hoping that they have got what it takes to go through to the BGT final. If they do, they will join the likes of ventriloquist Jamie Leahey, operatic singer Maxwell Thorpe and comedian Ben Nickless.

Should the singing group become finalists, they join the pantheon of Welsh stars who have appeared on the show before including Paul Potts, Nathan Wyburn and Shaheen Jafargholi.
