It's great up North - the tour road leads to Leeds!

With Rotherham, Bradford and Halifax under their belts, the Junior Star Singer Songwriter team woke up bright and early to take the road to the city of Leeds for their penultimate show at East Leeds FM.  

Adrian Sinclair is the station manager who welcomed the guests from the tour to his unusual radio station which was originally a church and is now a cafe, arts centre, radio station and music studio. The venue is a wonderful place for any artist to learn music and presenting as Adrian runs courses as well at the arts centre. 

The contestants that came forward from the Leeds area were Danny Kelly and Daniel McDonash who applied via the radio station to enter the Junior Star Singer Songwriter competition.  Have a listen to them here:

Teide Bryce, Georgia Lois, Chloe Dunne and Scott Thornhill all really enjoyed their tour of the radio station as it was one of the most unusal stations they had ever been to. Acoustics were of course fantastic as you can imagine!  Thanks again to Adrian Sinclair for arranging this and supporting Junior Star Singer Songwriter.

Scott Thornhill appeared as a guest on the show to talk about JSS Theatre Star which is a new project which we will be launching later this year.  Contestants will have the chance to sing tracks from musical theatre and to perform scenes from a book/show.  This will be put into six episodes on radio and contestants will be eliminated from each show as they draw closer and closer to the final. So watch out for news on this in the JSS magazine and on the JSS website. Scott, who also attends a drama club and has been acting from an early age, will be helping to direct the competition. Can't wait for that folks!  For more information tune into his blog which will be on line soon.
