Chapter 13’s Electrifying ‘BGT’ Audition Leaves Judges and Viewers in Awe
With talent running high on this season of Britain’s Got Talent, choosing a frontrunner feels nearly impossible. But one group—teen boy band Chapter 13—has quickly emerged as a serious contender.
The group, made up of Jacob Swann, Noah Key, Tom Abisgold, and Jake Slack, met while performing in the West End’s School of Rock. The teens, all between 14 and 15 years old, connected through their love of music and decided to form a band, hoping to take their sound from the stage to stardom.
They Didn’t Just Perform—They Rocked the Stage
Even before they played a note, Simon Cowell was impressed by their sharp image. But once they started performing, it was clear Chapter 13 had far more than just style—they had serious musical chops.
Their energetic medley of Stevie Wonder hits immediately brought the room to life. Tom’s vocals were a standout, but it was the group’s flawless instrumentation and chemistry that truly wowed the crowd.
The whole auditorium joined in—clapping, singing, and moving with the music. The atmosphere was electric. Even the judges couldn’t resist smiling along as the band delivered a show far beyond their years.
