Make some noise!!!

Aged 11 - 18 and think your band is the next Temper Trap? Or LaLa about Lady GaGa? Then read on...

Young people from the Cheshire area are being invited to perform and record their own two minute song based on one of the Upbeat topics. This can be as part of a band, solo singer or group. The song must be original so no cover versions please!

The judging panel will consist of a member of the force, someone from the recording studio and three young people from local schools.

Spread the word to all your musical mates and good luck!!
