Hampstead and Highgate’s budding singers can strut their stuff on stage in a search for a star
Camden is a borough steeped in musical heritage – and now it is on the hunt for the next big star.
Budding singers are getting the chance to win a day’s session at a top recording studio in a music competition.
The Search for a Star competition, run by Finchley Road’s O2 Centre in collaboration with the Ham&High, is urging musical residents to pick up their guitars and microphones and submit a two minute snippet of their music talent.
A selection of the best entries will be asked to busk their way to success at the O2 centre on either Saturday, July 7 and Saturday 14.
At the centre, they will be given a 15 minute busking slot to impress shoppers with their performance.
The busker who raises the most money will be crowned winner of the O2 Centre’s Search for a Star. All the money raised will go to the MS Society.
Centre manager Jason King comments ‘There’s so much music talent in North London, you only have to hop on the underground to hear some fantastic musicians busking.
