Singers, dancers, and comedians are being sought to showcase their talent at the Purley Festival.

Purley Soundcheck is now open for entries and acts can win the opportunity to perform on the main stage at the festival on the Rotary Fields.

The heats will be on June 12 and the finalists will battle it out on Friday June 19, at the Purley Soundcheck Final when the winner will be announced.

Adam Hughes organiser of Purley Soundcheck said: “We are really excited that the Purley Soundcheck is now open for entries, we can’t wait to see the talent that the borough has to offer.

"This is a great opportunity to showcase your talent and we want to hear from everyone from seasoned performers to those who have only ever previously performed at home.

“We ran Purley’s Got Talent last year which was a brilliant success. We are hoping to build on that success this year and make Purley Soundcheck and even bigger and better event.”
