TALENTED youngsters at St Augustine’s Catholic High School are preparing their vocal chords to do battle.

The school's annual Pop Icons competition is being held this year at Redditch's Palace Theatre and is set to be particularly special as it celebrates its 10th anniversary.

To further mark the special milestone, the school has invited back former students who were winners of the County Pop Icons competition over the last 10 years, in which the school was always placed.

Former students such as Jack Montgomery, now a successful actor, along with Laura Woodall, Sarah Bridgewater and many more will appear once again on stage.

Judges for the competition include Damon Minchella, formally from the band Ocean Colour Scene, and Ben Sidwell from BBC Midlands Today.

The competition is on Tuesday, February 10 starting at 7pm.

For tickets, expected to sell fast, and more information, call the Palace Theatre box office on 01527 65203 or visit redditchpalacetheatre.co.uk.
