WFX-Factor Semi Finals Print

WFX mini-logoThe Semi-Finals of the 2007 WFX-Factor competition of the Wharfedale Festival of Performing Arts was held on 28th April at Moorfield School's main hall where an invited audience listened to some amazing young voices as the five semi-finalists treated us to some powerful renditions of some great tunes.

In the first round we were reminded of the classic hits of the 60's with tunes like Yesterday and Downtown, then the competitors brought us up to date with more recent songs.
