Local talent will take the stage on Friday, October 25 from 7pm at the Inverell Town Hall. Organised by Inverell East Rotary Club, this event is in its 10th year.

Local musician Melanie Dyer will be the main judge and a guest performer on the night.

Dyer is well-known in the music world as a performer and recording artist and will share the judging with Armidale music identity, Stuart Pavel.

This year's program promises to be a cracker with solo performers, duets, choirs, song and dance artists, pianists and a rock band.

Local talent in the form of Peter Caddey and Chris Richter will also feature during the evening.

There are six entries in the new 'Best Original Song" category with a free recording session at Beechwood Studios (Armidale) as the prize.

This event is a highlight of the Sapphire Festival and Inverell East Rotary is extremely grateful for the generosity of local sponsors.
