LINCOLNSHIRE'S GOT TALENT CONTEST: HERE'S HOOPING EVERYONE ENJOYED THE BRIGG AREA HEAT

Brigg Blog was delighted to be invited along to the local heat of the Lincolnshire's Got Talent contest, held at the Woolpack, in the Market Place.
Since then, it has moved on through semi-finals to the grand final, held in Cleethorpes, and the  £500 overall winner is revealed in the current issue of the Scunthorpe Telegraph - now on sale in local outlets.
Two acts from the Brigg heat made it through to the final, singer Sam Lee and movement artist River.
Most of the performers who entered the contest were, as expected, singers or guitarists.
River was an exception, using a hula-hoop during his dance routines.
The overall standard was very high, the judges said. And everyone who attended will agree with that view.
Here are some  pictures we took during the Brigg area heat at the Woolie.
With thanks to Telegraph events manager Kimberly Spauls, her assistant Kim Collins, the judges and mine host at the Woolpack, Mike Williams, and his staff for their assistance on the night.
As the last picture below indicates, it was thirsty work reporting!

Waiting to be told who'd got through to the next round.
