THREE local acts have won the opportunity to perform at a live musical festival.

Band LDMP, and solo artists, Claudia Thompson and Alex Brierley will each be taking to the stage at the #AmazingAccrington – Live! music event in Broadway on Saturday from 11am.

LDMP are a three-piece urban style music group covering numerous genres, while Claudia Thompson is a singer-songwriter from Accrington.

Meanwhile Alex Brierley is a student at Accrington and Rossendale College who has featured on several BBC radio shows, with his first EP coming out this year.



 

All three were selected to perform after competition entries were judge by Accrington singer Reece Bibby.

He said: "I really enjoyed judging this competition but did find it quite difficult. There were many brilliant acts but a few stood out."

The three shortlisted acts will be joined by guests: Christian Burrows, Tabitha Jade and Ella Shaw.
