“Introducing auditions means there is a level playing field for all participants whether well-known or not to be a part of the festival," she said.
"It is more important than ever to celebrate local talent and we have been thrilled to see so much unique talent come forward from all ages. We are excited to bring such eclectic entertainment to the streets of St Peter Port.”
