Visitors to the recent Saddleworth Show enjoyed some great entertainment with a range of musical acts on stage from 10am right through to the close at 6pm.

In the Young Performers’ Showcase, Adjudicator Clara Darcy, well-known for her celebrated performances in Chicago and Brassed Off among many others, complimented the performers for ‘giving us the best array of talent ever’ and trophies were awarded to the Saddleworth Dancers, the Oldham Music Centre’s Electric Guitar Group (EGG 2) and Jubacana.
