FIVE lucky eight to 14-year-olds have the chance to become a Dream Idol in open auditions at the Albert Halls, Bolton, on next Tuesday at 5pm.

The competition is running as part of the spring and summer 2004 Dream Concerts UK tour - Bring It On! The Greatest Summer Pop Party Ever - that comes to the Albert Halls on Tuesday, August 24, at 2 pm.

Talented youngsters are asked to go along to the auditions and sing a verse and chorus of their favourite pop hit. Entrants will be judged on their overall talent in performance, singing ability, stage presence and confidence. All entrants will be seen.

The five successful candidates go forward to the local competition.

The winner will go on to the Dream Idol Final in October. And from this, 10 successful candidates will be selected for a new DK*UK pop act and recording.

Auditions are free, and winners must be available on August 24 to perform live on stage.

Tickets for the Bring It On concert cost £7 and are available from the Albert Halls Box Office on 01204 334400.
