A NORTH-East songwriter believes she may have penned the next Christmas number one for boy band Westlife.
Karen Rhodes, who runs Starbiz, a song-writing and talent agency in Stanley, County Durham, has sent the song to BMG Publishing, in London, which deals with the Irish group.
While she is waiting to see if the heartthrobs will take The Season Is Here to the top of the charts, Ms Rhodes has set up a website with Communigate, The Northern Echo's community Internet scheme.
On her latest song, she said: "It's a song for Christmas. The style is a jolly ballad with a seasonal sound. It's very melodic.
"I'm waiting to see what Westlife say. It could be a big hit - possibly a number one."
The site can be found at www.communigate.co.uk/ne/starbiz, and the latest music news from around the region is available at The Northern Echo's new site www.thisisthenortheast.co.uk/revolution.
