The other day some of the event team popped along to meet Frankie and the Heartstrings in their shop PopRecs. Frankie and Dave from the band kindly agreed to judge our Singer Songwriting Competition alongside Dave Murray and the Houghton Rotary Club.

We had some great entries which we've been playing in the office but it was even better to hear them through PopRecs sound system!

It was really interesting to see how people had used the theme 'All the Fun of the Fair' to create some really unique music. We can't wait to play the winners track at Houghton Feast and hear it played on Spark FM - stand by our social media for the winner's announcement!
