BGT choir to star at music festival

A local choir and a dance troupe that both performed on Britain's Got Talent are on the line-up at a bank holiday music festival.

Delasole, at Delapre Park in Northampton, will feature the Northants Sings Out choir and the dance group Diversity.

Local singer Billy Lockett is also on the programme, alongside DJs Marvin Humes and Charlie Hedges.

The event starts with a family festival on Saturday, followed by an 18+ event on Sunday.

Northants Sings Out made it to the final of last year's series of Britain's Got Talent.

The community choir even had an endorsement from Madonna after performing a version of her hit number Music.

They will be performing on the main stage in the grounds of Delapre Abbey on Saturday.

Northampton's Billy Lockett, who performed on ITV's The Voice last year, will be performing some of his songs.

Also on the programme are the dance troupe, Diversity, who won the ITV talent show in 2009, and the TV presenter and DJ Marvin Humes.

The Wanted 2.0 are due to perform, having had a difficult start to the year when a show was cancelled because singer Max George was recovering from heart surgery.

BBC Radio 1 presenter Charlie Hedges will take to the main stage on Sunday, as will the DJ Judge Jules, who earned his nickname after choosing to study law.

He will be joined on stage by a 10-piece band.

A set from Carla Monroe and a return visit by Billy Lockett are also scheduled.

Performances on three more stages will continue throughout the festival, with fire breathers and a giant robot also expected to appear.
