Abingdon’s Got Talent was great fun as always. Here are two sisters performing Sisters.
There was a good crowd to see the 19 performances – I am not sure why the number of entries was down on last year but it meant that the heats and final were all rolled into one.
My son was supposed to be performing and had set out to write a rap about a notorious female hanging in the Old Gaol but it proved too ambitious. He was replaced by a very good ballet dancer, and there was a band called ‘No Fear.’
The compere was excellent as were many of the acts and the judges …
this year were … The Mayor, Mike Badcock … The Leader of Abingdon Town Band, Steve Rich … Local BBC News Reader, Geraldine Peers … Retired School Drama Teacher and Amateur Dramatic Impresario, Eileen Bagshaw … and BBC Script writer / Editor, Paul Mayhew Archer.
The winner in the under 18s category was this young lady, singing and playing the guitar.
The winner in the over 18s category was a very good Irish Dancer. He started dancing at a very early age …
“Michael Flatley, eat your heart out!”
well done to all of them! i was going to enter, but went to the aylesbury armed forces instead- and it would have meant me competing against one of my friend- who was infact the under 18 winner!
The ballet dancer should have won the under-18s; she was the best.
