Last call for 'South Shields' Got Talent' entries as The New Cypress pub hosts next round of auditions

The team at The New Cyprus Hotel in Chichester Road is hosting ‘Shields Got Talent’ event to showcase the best talent in the area, and organisers are appealing to anyone who would still like to audition.

The pub’s talent show has been postponed a week, meaning there is still a chance for people to take part in the final auditions this Friday at 7pm. Anyone wishing to take part must head to the pub this Friday evening.

The talent show is open to solo or duo acts of any age and everyone is welcome to take part, whether they can sing, dance or juggle – the show is open to any kind of talent.

Landlady, Sinia Jazwi held the first auditions on Friday, she said: “The talent displayed on Friday was amazing and it’s going to be hard for the judges to choose a winner I think so far.”

Following the final auditions on Friday the semi-finals of the competition will take place on Friday, 1 July followed by the finals taking place on Friday, 8 July. A winner of ‘Shields Got Talent’ will be crowned and take home the £500 prize money.

The talent show evenings take place from 7pm – 9.30pm followed by the pub’s usual karaoke party open to everyone.

Sinia added: “We would like to thanks all the public, children and parents for the participation and support shown to the venue.”
