AN annual search for talented, young local musicians is again under way in Chester-le-Street.
The Rotary Club, working with the James Etherington Music Trust, is inviting youngsters living in the Chester-le-Street and Durham areas to apply for an award.
The first prize is £300 and a silver trophy, with the runner-up receiving £100. The competition is open to musicians and singers and members of the public are welcome to attend the performances, which will be held in Chester-le-Street Methodist Church on Tuesday, April 12, at 7pm.
Application forms, which must be returned by February 25, are available from Park View Community School, Church Chare, Chester le Street.
The award is named after tenor James Etherington, of Chester-le-Street, who was famous for his performances in West End shows.
