Festival4stars - Belfast talent competition 2008

In my third year as a judge at Festival4stars I'm looking forward to seeing the tremendous talent in Belfast. The Northern Ireland heat has produced some national winners in the last couple of years and the standard there is superb. One of the young dance groups from last year was even better than anything I've seen on Britain's Got Talent this week!

The competition is open to people of all ages and has various sections for all kinds of talent, including a new section for musical theatre groups. Four winners from each section go through to a regional final on the same day and the eventual winners represent the region in the national finals later in the year.

Entries are still open for Belfast and you can find out more info on the Festival4stars website at www.festival4stars.com or telephone Judy on 0141 620 2300. Please mention that you saw this blog by Kate if you're ringing to enter. Please note that you can't just turn up on the day, but you can telephone the Festival4stars number at any time up to the event begins.
