Making music magic in Bradford

West Yorkshire city Bradford is well known as the birthplace of magician Dynamo, which is why we chose it to work some of our very own musical magic on the Junior Star Singer Songwriter tour.

Amanda and Rachael arrived very early in the morning for BCB's breakfast show with Daniel Carroll presenter of the morning show, watching the sun rise as they arrived to greet contestants for the show.

Contestants all seemed very nervous but very excited as they were asked to take pictures with the hosts before warming up for their slots.

In an interview with show host Daniel, Amanda gave the story behind the creation of Junior Star Singer Songwriter and explained how the tour works across the UK.




If anyone would like to enter as well next year, please apply through the Junior Star Singer website on www.juniorstar singer.co.uk  Next year, the Junior Star Singer crew expect to hit more radio stations around the UK, so look out in local schools for information as well as the main website.  Amanda Neale is also a regular Panelist for BBC radio Surrey and Sussex and Three Counties and gives information on the tour in her appearances so listen out for these.   Her next show on BBC radio Surrey and Sussex will be on September 6th on the lunchtime slot on the Allison Ferns show.  

The contestants for the Bradford show were: Shania Rowe, Mia Tarrobal, Josie Baker, Mila Lee

With a range of covers and their own material the contestants sang their hearts out for Bradford breakfast listeners at 8 'o' clock on a Saturday morning and were interviewed afterward. While it may have been early, there was no sign of any tiredness or flakiness!!!  Catch a peek at their performance below and choose your favourite contestant.  It's very tough to decide as they are all fantastic.





Later on in the show, Rachael gave information on the charity Youth Music so that listeners could text donate and give to an extremely worthwhile cause.  The whole of the tour is promoted especially to make people aware of the great work that Youth music do across the UK, so please donate on “TOUR11 £5” to 70070.

Looking forward to our next show in Halifax at Phoenix Radio!

See you soon!!XX
