WANNABE popstars are being offered places at a Fame Academy-style summer school.
The ID Programme, run by Genius Entertainment, will give performers and musicians a chance to develop their talents and music industry knowledge.
The free course will begin in Stanley, in July and will run throughout the school summer holidays.
The students will have a chance to record a demo, be the subject of a photo shoot, develop their own web site and perform live. They will also take part in workshops covering all aspects of the music business.
The summer school aims to build on the success of the talentSTAR project, which set out to find potential stars in the region.
By June this year, the tour will have visited 40 North-East schools and colleges, with the acts taking part performing to more than 20,000 people.
For further details about the summer school, telephone (08707) 442258, or visit the web site, www.talentstar.ne
