Talented local lad, Alex Brierley, will have his moment on stage
Alex Brierley is a student at Accrington and Rossendale College. The talented singer/songwriter has worked alongside Boy George, Culture Club and The Clash producer Steve Levine. Alex has featured on several BBC radio shows – his first EP is coming out this year!
The competition was judged by local lad turned international pop sensation, Reece Bibby.
Reece commented:
“I really enjoyed judging this competition but did find it quite difficult! There were many brilliant acts but a few stood out and that’s why I chose for them to win this competition. Claudia Thompson has an amazing voice, Alex is very talented and clearly, a great songwriter, and LDMP are a great band offering something a bit more unique. I wish them all the best of luck on Saturday!”
The three shortlisted acts will be joined by guests: Christian Burrows, Tabitha Jade and Ella Shaw.
