A BAR in Leigh is joining the search for the next national pop sensation with the Smirnoff Sing-Off Karaoke competition.

From Monday, June 2, The Litten Tree bar in Lord Street is holding heats for the contest where the final prize will be £1,000 and the chance to be represented by top agency, Peller Artistes. The winner will also get a day in a recording studio to cut their own CD. Would-be Robbie Williams should register by May 30.
