Talented performers from across the district will be battling it out in the Bradfactor final this weekend.

Saturday’s grand final follows weeks of auditions, with 200 hopefuls whittled down to a final 17.

Organised by Zap Promotions, Bradfactor is supported by Bradford Council’s youth service, Incommunities, Aspire I, Carlisle Business Centre and arts development agency Fabric.

The final at St George’s Hall will be hosted by dance act and Britain’s Got Talent finalists Twist and Pulse. Money from tickets will go to the Lord Mayor’s Appeal, supporting Marie Curie Cancer Care.

“It will be a great evening, we’d like as many people as possible to come along and show their support for Bradford’s amazing young talent,” said organiser Paula Helliwell.

The finalists will perform for a panel of judges, including Bradford actor Tom Milner, a star of BBC1’s Waterloo Road.

Tickets are available on (01274) 432000.
