Anne Middleton, Secretary and Concerts Coordinator for Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival, said: “Front of curtain acts are an essential and popular part of our carnival concerts, and the quality and calibre of those auditioning is always extremely high.
This year has been no exception and our judges had a very difficult task in choosing the successful acts for this year’s concerts.
“We have so much talent in the town, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank every act for taking the time to apply and for auditioning. For those acts that didn’t make it through, we would love to see them back auditioning again next year.”
This year’s main carnival concerts sponsor is FCS International Shipping Limited, a Bridgwater based global shipping company, with the auditions being sponsored by Anderson and Wall.
