Have You Got Talent?


Yes? Then sign up for Wandsworth Young Performer 2010!

Young people in Wandsworth with a passion for performance, music or arts are being urged to register for the 2010 Young Performer talent competition.

The event is run by the Wandsworth Arts Team in conjunction with the Youth Participation Team, and is open to 14-19 year olds who live, go to school/a youth club or work in Wandsworth.

The competition is an opportunity for singers, poets, dancers, musicians, bands, comedians and any other performers with an act or routine to showcase their talent.
