A TV-STYLE talent show came to Pocklington with 13 young acts battling it out to be named Pock Idol 2010.
The performers from Pocklington Community Junior School won praise from a panel of judges for their dancing, comic routines, piano recitals and songs, ranging from a rendition of Spice Girls’ Wannabe to JLS’s Everybody In Love.
The outright judges’ winner was Olivia Rooks, who proved popular with her version of Whitney Houston’s One Moment in Time.
The audience’s favourite was Pocklington’s answer to JLS, youngsters TMA.
Complete with what viewers described as “cheeky movement”, the three young singers and dancers, Thomas Snowball, Matthew Warne and Adam Ramsden, received cheers from the crowd for their boyband performance.
This year’s event was the seventh talent contest organised by friends of Pocklington Community Junior School, and the sell-out final was held at Woldgate College.
Lamorne Taylor, one of the event’s organisers, said she had been delighted with the atmosphere created by the 220-strong audience.
