What it's all about

The BuXton Factor is a new entertainment event for the town (based on a well-known format!), organised by students from the University of Derby Buxton it was started by 2 students myself (sean) and Kirstye, and we teamed up with a member of the Students union member Marie Aldous.

What inspired me to carry out this project is that i see all around Buxton so much talent trhat can be taken further but they won't have the confidence to stand up and show what they can do, so i have come up with this project so they are able to progress and come forward for an oppurtunity to boost their confidence have fun and believe in themselves.

The BuXton factor was started in the Boilerhouse common room in October and we got in touch with Alex stackhouse to see what we would need to do too carry out and be able to make this project happen, to get thicgs started we made application forms and me and Kirstye spent hours at a time down the street in search for talent the amazing amount we got back was really moving that so many people are willing to try and show us what they have got.

we then noticed before we can carry out the auditions we had to have risk assesments and have a health and safety checks. every one contributed as much as they can and we passed and we got on with the auditions. we held the auditions almost every week up to December the 8th which was our last audtion date and there were loads thatb were succe3ssful and we all agreed on the right decision on who to keep and who to let go.
The final event is taking place on 11th February 2008 at the Buxton Opera House.

happy new year everyone and here we are a new year for new talent first week back on the project and all ready we have the singing eliminations on wednesday the 9th of January. to see who goes and who stays who will know??
