JOSH TAYLOR: has taken the entertainment industry by storm… 1 of 500 participants Josh was selected to take part in the first ever European Talent Event, Growing Talent 2008 which incorporated the worldwide-acclaimed International Talent Showcase (ITS) held this year in Disney Land, Paris. Josh spent the week showcasing and auditioning in front of the some of the world’s biggest agents, managers, casting directors and industry professionals in the music, dancing, modelling and acting industry.  

We have just today been notified that Josh was selected as a finalist in three categories; best Junior Actor, best Junior Monologue and best Stand-Up (open age group). This gave Josh the opportunity to showcase his talent during a Grand Final before being voted overall winner for best STAND UP at the Grand Banquet on the final night of what was an incredibly busy week singing, dancing, acting and modelling.

With over 10 casting directors, managers, agents and industry professionals requesting call backs during the event we are sure that Josh is destined for the “BIG TIME”…

We are very proud to say that Josh has trained with us at Melody Pop Tuition and Melissa his vocal coach and dance tutor is over the moon.

Well done Josh!

Growing Talent Europe in association with ITS and Stirling Academy (Mother Agent and Scout for Greater Manchester Region) were so impressed with the standard of talent at Melody Pop that they have decided to come back again in 2009.

The auditions are open to anyone and you do not have to be a student here, they are going to be held sometime in February, so please keep popping back for further details.

If you think you have the talent and feel you can excel in dance, singing, acting or modelling come along and audition. Assuming you are successful this Talent Event could be the opportunity for you to get noticed by agents, managers, casting directors and industry professionals in the music, dancing, modelling and acting industry.

For Josh this has been a fantastic experience that could lead to great opportunities in the future.

The day commenced at 1pm starting with the Dancers from Meldoy Pop Tuition along with some of our very talented singers which included, Josh Taylor aged 9, Olivia Higham aged 10 and Natalie Terry aged 12, of course the afternoon could not have commenced without the talent of our very own Tony Finnbar-Smith.  All the choreography was arranged by Melissa Finbarr-Smith head of the dance section of the school and her new dance agency due to start The Fabulous Dance Agency.

Working along side Derri Burdon and Gemma Morris from Bolton Council the day was a massive success. Thanks also go to Norma Rutherford for the stageing arrangements, as usual very well organised….. well done Norma and thanks to her and everyone above…

The day ended with Black Out Crew…

Here are some of the pics from the day……  We look forward now to doing even more projects and encourge every child to FIND YOUR TALENT…..  Video coming soon…………

so you remember Melody pop was entered into the “Do the Lambrini” competition? (see post HERE)
well they didn’t win… but actually got something BETTER than winning – a glowing report on www.lambrini.co.uk! (if you visit, head to the Kirsty Doyle page)

The final decision, made by ’Project Catwalk’ winner Kirsty Doyle*, basically says that even though they were not the winners, the Melody Pop dancers were the favourites and if they need a dance troup to perform the lambrini then they’ll be in touch!!!
(*Original Judge Cilla Black was changed)

Melissa says it’s BETTER THAN WINNING the night out in London, as it proves that the Melody Pop dancers and routines are the best out there! (The lucky winners captured the ‘lambrini girls just wanna have fun’ ethos by having a pajama party and having a laugh! – well done to them, we wish we were there when they’d recorded it!)

The Melody Pop Dancers have also been selected to be PIT GIRLS for a particular car racing team (more info after deal is finalised) – what are pit girls? Think cheerleaders for racing car teams, and also think dance routines on SKY SPORTS!!

So along with those two reasons and also this sunday’s session with KYLIE’S CHOREOGRAPHER (Tim Noble) coming up, we’re more proud than ever to be Melody Pop – WINNERS ALL THE WAY!!

This is actually the second time I’ve made this site today, but because the first go crashed, I lost and entire day’s work!!

Never mind! How can I be angry when here we are celebrating all sorts of things, including our dancers getting to the final of a National competition!

Please feel free to leave comments wherever you see the comment link!

cheers,

Tony.
