WelliFest 12-16 year old auditions Grand Final

Over 160 people packed into the Royal George function room in Greenfield, Saddleworth on Friday 25th January to attend the WelliFest 12-16 year old auditions Grand Final.

The judging panel of Stuart and Charlotte Coleman, Rick Lees and Tom Gibson were impressed by the quality and high standard of the nine musical performances and following intense deliberation announced that the winner was Liberty Eaton, with Freja Hardman the runner up. Liberty will now open the WelliFest musical event at Well-i-hole Farm on Saturday 29th June 2019. Freja will also perform at the event.

In order to celebrate the talent of these young people all of the other contestants have been invited to perform at Music On The Stage At Saddleworth Show, the following day Sunday 30th June 2019.

The evening was hosted by our own Phil Grainger and included a guest performance by Tom Gibson a local singer songwriter who has already been booked to perform at WelliFest

Special thanks to Jason Worthington and his team at the Royal George for their wonderful support, Jason not only provided the function room free of charge but also provided a meat and potato pie supper for all attendees and made a gift of £50 meal vouchers to all contestants.

The event was streamed on Facebook Live with 1,400.00 viewers watching at the time, and a total of 2,400.00 in the first 48 hours.

These winning acts will add to the spectacular line-up and perform at the not-to-be missed live event of WelliFest this Summer, raising funds for charitable causes.
