Junior Star Singer 2017 on Phoenix Radio in Halifax and BCB radio in Bradford Saturday 12th August
Junior Star Singer has been running as a radio show in recent years, but for anyone that didn't realise, it started life as a show in various halls around the UK. Called Junior Star Factor, the show was set up by music entrepreneur Amanda Neale to provide young people in music with a platform where they could get themselves in front of music industry professionals.
Now several years later, Junior Star Factor has become a radio tour called Junior Star Singer, going out across the UK in 20 towns and cities, across 20 radio stations to thousands of listeners. Music professionals give their opinions on how the contestants do and choose a winner, who then has their track recorded and played out on 20 radio stations the following year. It is such an amazing opportunity, and one that no-one should miss!

They were joined by previous winners from 2016 Shania Rowe and Kasey Wray, special guests Teide Bryce, Georgia Lois (JSS Junior Judge), and Isolde (aka Emily Taylor-Smith) a previous contestant from Halifax. It was a jammed packed show full of great music and acts.

There they will be judged where the winner for 2017 will then be decided upon. It's a tough competition already as there has been so many amazing singers and songwriters! So watch this space.
