Young talent set for show

Talented young performers are gearing up for the Black Country's Youth Stars In Their Eyes show.

A group of 10 young singers and musicians have been picked to showcase their talents in the show following weeks of auditions.

They will perform as their musical heroes in the show tomorrow at the Gloucester Street Community Centre, in Whitmore Reans, Wolverhampton from 7pm-10pm.

Among the guests on the night will be Wolverhampton's deputy mayor, councillor Christine Mills, and Beacon Radio, which will showcase the winning act.

The evening will raise money towards the Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia Support Project, Wolverhampton.

Sajni Beghal, aged 17, from Smethwick and a student at King Edward VI College, Stourbridge, said: "I've never done anything like this before. I want to study to become a midwife, so I don't even want to be a singer but I thought it would be fun to do."

Tickets are available on the door and cost £1 adults and 50p children. There will be a prize draw during the evening which starts at 7pm. For information call 01902 312 344 or email admin@cedarprojects.co.uk
