I WOULD like to give your readers notice that the Andover Young Musician of the Year is to be held at St Mary’s Church, Andover on Thursday, 5 February at 6pm.

This is the third year that we have run the event and I have to say that everyone who has attended the last two has been delighted at the very high standard of acts and the brilliance of our young school musicians. We have two categories again this year, classical and popular, and again the whole audience will vote on all the acts.

There are prizes of £100 for the winners, £50 for the runners up and a special award, the Hubert Dawkes Trophy, for the individual who shows most promise.

So please order your tickets now or come along on the night for what will be a most enjoyable evening.
