IF YOU'VE ever dreamed of performing on hit TV show The Voice UK then now is your chance as an early audition is held in Haddington.

The popular primetime STV programme has enlisted the help of Lamp House Music for the early stages of casting for next year’s series.

Over the coming weeks, a team from The Voice UK is travelling across the country scouting for singers and musicians and approached Lamp House Music to help them in their search due to its work with young musical talent in East Lothian.

Roz Maguire, of Haddington-based Lamp House Music, said: “We come across so many talented vocalists and musicians through Lamp House Music that we are happy to be helping The Voice UK in their search.

“It’s a lengthy audition process – but we’re keeping our fingers crossed that someone local will make it all the way through to the actual TV show.

“Sadly, I don’t think Tom Jones will be joining us at this stage!”

For first auditions, participants need to prepare one or two songs with a backing track or musical instrument, for an audition lasting no more than 10 minutes.

All participants must be aged 16 or over by October 1 and to sign up for an audition, which must be reserved in advance, email roz@lamphousemusic.co.uk or call 01620 825630.

Auditions take place in Haddington on Monday, between 5pm and 6pm.
