Today was the North East & Cumbria, Regional Final of the prestigious UK Festival 4 Stars. Held at The Lancastrian Suite, Dunston Gateshead, Tom was competing in the 15 - Adult Solo Singer Category, and the standard of competition was high.

As previously reported, Tom won through the Durham Heat in May, and we are pleased to report that today Tom was a Regional Winner and is through to the National Final, to be held in November. As a Regional Winner, we understand Tom "will be asked to sign a twelve month contract which will include mentoring by industry professionals and a showcase of their talent to major record labels".

Congratulations to all the other category winners! It has been a great day - and a great event.

Tom leaves for the USA tomorrow, and his next public appearance will be at Marabini's Ristorante, Morpeth on 28th July 2012.
