13 talented local entertainment acts fought off tough competition during auditions to secure a front of curtain slot at the 2022 carnival concerts.
The auditions, which were sponsored by Anderson & Wall, took place at Bridgwater Town Hall, and the following acts were selected to perform at this year’s concerts:
Emily Miller
Florence Curtis
Fox King Dance Academy
Anthony Lawson Blake
Amanda Nolan
Sammy & Evie
The Vixens
Kizzy Maguire
James Alexander
Christie Buttle
Viva La Diva
Simon Newton
Catrin Hudson
Emily Palmer (reserve)
Anne Middleton, Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival Committee’s Secretary and Concerts Coordinator, said: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank every act for taking the time to apply and auditioning for our concerts, and our sponsors Anderson and Wall for their continuing support and generosity.
“The standard of the acts was the highest ever, and the judges had a very difficult task in choosing which ones should go forward to the 12 night show later this year. For those acts that didn’t make it through, we would love to see them back auditioning for next year’s concerts.”
Following a Pandemic related two year pause, the prestigious carnival concerts return to the Bridgwater Town Hall stage between Monday 3 October and Saturday 15 October.
Tickets for the 2022 show are available from the event’s official website, and from the Carnival Centre, High Street. Ticket prices range between £11.50 and £16.
