For the finale of William Hunt's artist's residency "I don't believe you, you're a liar" he presents a major new installation and performance work in King's Cross. A battle of the bands, X Factor hybrid, the work features live music and tough talking judges.

Acts perform linked up to a lie detector and are critiqued not only on their singing talent but on their genuineness. The final is judged by a ‘celebrity panel’ along with the audience who are asked to shout “play loud, play real loud” or “I don’t believe you, you’re a liar”. Join some members of the audience by dressing as Bob Dylan.
