British Resorts and Destinations Association's "Search for a Star - North West Regional Heats"

THE first of this year’s fantastic talent competition, British Resorts and Destinations Association's "Search for a Star - North West Regional Heats" got off to a fantastic start. The competition, which is now in its 32nd year, is quite literally "your chance to see the stars of tomorrow today." Most of the acts who enter go on to perform or already perform on stage and/or in other areas of the entertainment industry. I am always amazed as I watch the talented, identified at these events, rise and rise each year. This year’s entrants look like they will be no exception to the rule.

The event, compered by Neil, held on 2 August 2007 at the Southport Arts Centre from Dune FM’s Big Fun Breakfast Show, who also compered the regional auditions this year. Neil introduced and quizzed 12 stunning acts who performed in front of judges and a live audience, in a to bid to become one of four to go through to the regional final from that night’s acts. At stake this year is a chance to represent the NorthWest, later in the year, at the National Final in Leamington Spa, and also £750 for winning the regional final. Going through this week to the regional finals are Jodie Hamblet, Kortni, Jhonathan Graham and Shaun Feils.

The next two North West heats will be held at Southport Arts Centre on the 9 August and the 16 August 2007. If the last heat was phenomenally good, then the next heats with singers, bands, dancers and musicians should be just as outstanding. So head on over and watch them battle it out from 7.00pm onwards.

The finals of the North West Regional at to be held on 6 September 2007 at the Southport Arts Centre.
