Hot new talent in Bradford will get the chance to shine this weekend.

Supported by Bradford Council's Youth Service, the Brad-factor' will showcase 27 acts involving young people aged between 11 and 25 years old.

The event is to be held at The Priestley, in Chapel Street, Little Germany, Bradford, on Saturday.

Performances will include various forms of dance, singing, rapping and playing musical instruments.

If the event is a success there are plans for it to become an annual event which gives young people a platform to pursue a performing arts career.

Mick Chandsoor, of the Council's youth service, said: "There is going to be a lot of acts on - it is going to be something to let the young people shine on the night.

"There is a lot of negativity surrounding young people but this shows how many are wanting to show their talents."

The event will start at 7pm with doors opening at 6.30pm.

Manningham Housing Association, Brunel Housing, Horton Housing, Accent and Tropix are supporting the event.

Tickets cost £4 and are available from the theatre.
