Last year’s competition was won by Parkway Green tenant, Harriet Wood, a singer from Northern Moor who impressed both the judges and the audience with a stunning performance of ‘Run to you’ by Whitney Houston to claim victory.

She said, “I’m over the moon to have won this competition it means the world to me!! Hopefully I can use this as a springboard to greater things and further my career”

One of the organisers Pat Higson said, “The event was a massive success, not just because of the number of talented individuals who came forward and took part, but also because of all the people of Wythenshawe who really got behind the competition. This year’s event will definitely be bigger and better”
