It's great up North! Next stop on the JSS Northern tour, BCB Radio, Bradford

Our intrepid team of Junior Star Singer Songwriter stars made their way to Bradford on Saturday 11th August after their trip to Halifax. BCB Radio 106.6 FM was the next stop, steered by host David Carpenter who helps to programme shows for the community radio station.

Contestants were Barbora Orackova and Ketsia Opoku, both of whom gave great performances - check them both out below:



Guests were Teide Bryce, Georgia Lois, Junior Star Singer Songwriter 2017 winner Chloe Dunne, and Scott Thornhill.  BCB radio has been working with charity Youth Music for a while on various projects so it seemed an ideal opportunity as a venue for Junior Star Singer Songwriter as we're also a keen supporter of the charity.  We always love going down to Bradford because they have a wonderful team and always give us a fun show!

Georgia Lois presented our Behind the Mic feature at BCB Bradford, giving us an opportunity to hear what our contestants Barbora and Ketsia were thinking before they went on air.  Sometimes we film this before they go onto the station so contestants have a chance to relax and practice before they perform.  Georgia Lois knows what it's like to be nervous! She first entered the competition aged just 10 when it was called Junior Star Factor in its early days.


Georgia has since been mentored by Amanda Neale on the artist development programme and has recorded her demo and is starting her EP.  Check out her tracks on her website: http://www.georgialoisjss.com.  She has been touring and now presents with Junior Star Singer after having been a junior judge last year.  

The artists were all very tired after another day of singing and presenting for Junior Star Singer Songwriter up north, but the tour's not over yet!  There's another day of more touring to go, with the artists due to meet yet more talented contestants in Leeds and York!  Catch you there!
