THE British
Resort’s Association Search For A Star, North West Final 2005, took
place on Thursday 15 September to a full house at the Southport Arts
Center. The competition is now in its 30th year and is the longest
running competition of its kind in the UK. Organised by ABD
Productions this years event was one of the closest North West final
yet. At stake was the chance to compete in the National Finals, to
be held in Bridlington. This has seen former contestants going on to
star on TV and film roles and also performing all over the world on
stage, and also a chance to win prize money of just under £6,000.00.
The contestants where as follows:- Katy Dowd, Paula Dickinson,
Chantal, Dalrymple, Tom Spence, Sarah McCauley, Raymond Quinn,
Steven Malden, Alison Crawford and January Woodhead.
Well done to all the acts this year and especially well done to the
finalists. If it was down to me you all would be going through, but
sadly only one act can.... The winners this year and now
representing the North West in the National Finals are Amanda &
Katy, whose unique performance, stunning looks and good harmony won
over the judges.

Good Luck to them both
at the National Final.
Introducing the acts all night long was Simon J, closeing the night
performing a duet with his dazzeling patner. Opening the night was
rising star Robbie Crarter, aged 15, who is soon to be starting in a
film and on stage near you...!
