CAN you sing? Act? Read poetry? Or even play the spoons?

Whatever you weird or wonderful talent is, producer George Critchley is looking for you!

Panto king George - he's been behind festival shows at Colne Muni and the Thwaites Empire Theatre, Blackburn, has launched a search for the county's most talented stars to audition for his brand new project, Lancashire's Got Talent.

You can be young or old, big or small, as long as your talent is something that will give a theatre audience a giggle or a thrill - the sky's the limit.

Everybody who contacts George will get the chance to audition to perform in the show. If they get through they can invite their family and friends to watch them shine.

Those who really impress will be represented by George's management and agency PMA Management for professional TV and theatre work.

He is looking for singers, actors, musicians, bands, soloists, comics, poets, dancers, mine artists, jugglers, clog dancer, models - you name it, he's looking for it.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for young or old - those who want to be stars and those who want to give it their last hurrah as it's never too late," said George.

"Whatever your talent, come and have a go if you think you are good enough."
