EAST Lancashire's clearly got talent!
The number of singers wanting to try out for a spot on The Voice UK has forced TV bosses to extend auditions at Blackburn's Empire Theatre.
Initially due to run from 11am to 1pm, the auditions on Wednesday, April 3, will now be held from 10am to 2pm.
The show's producers have said this is in response to "phenomenal demand" for places.
Solo singers, duos and trios will all be given a chance to get to the blind audition stage of the top TV show in 2020 to see if they can persuade one of the celebrity judges to have them on their team.
Anyone wishing to apply should prepare one song either with a backing track or with an instrument.
Performers must be 16 on or before October 1, 2019 and under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
To apply, email thevoiceuk@itv.com with Blackburn Empire - showcase in the subject line.
