Search is on for talented acts

3:00pm Saturday 6th October 2012 in News

LLANDEILO’S Got Talent is returning following the success of last year’s talent search.

The Festival of Senses committee intends to repeat the quest to seek out the best talent the townand surrounding area has to offer.

Last year the committee advertised and hosted Llandeilo’s Got Talent and auditioned 12 acts. The four winning acts performed on the main stage of the festival in King’s Street in front of a huge crowd, before receiving their cash prizes.

The search for other talented vocalists and musicians is now under way once more. Posters are now appearing around the town inviting locals to enter this year’s Llandeilo’s Got Talent by firstly e-mailing to register their interest and to explain the nature of the act.

People will receive a prompt e-mail response which will explain the next steps in the process. Having registered, they will be invited to an audition night in The Angel on Friday, October 5, from 7pm.

They will perform before a panel of judges, which this year includes the head of programming for S4C.

This year, organisers are looking for two acts who will win prizes of £100 and £50. The two winning acts will perform live on the outdoor main stage in the heart of the town on Saturday, November 24.

To register your act and find out more information, contact Neil on festivaltalent@gmail.com stating the nature of your talent / act.

The festival will run from Thursday, November 22 to Sunday, November 25.

The Llandeilo Town Council Lights Switch On is on Friday, November 23, with late night shopping, discounts and a visit from Santa.

The weekend entertainment will take place on the King’s Street stage as well as in the Civic Hall, where there will be children’s acts.
