Olivia Story, will join the Mayor of Carlisle, Cllr Barry Earp, to trigger a galaxy of Christmas lights in the city centre at 5.30pm. The programme will start at 2pm, when the stage will come alive with non-stop entertainment.
X Factor finalist Danyl Johnson will top the bill. Danyl rocketed to fame in 2009, when he ended up coming fourth in the competition. He amazed the audience, and judges alike, with his rendition of Joe Cocker’s ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’, which has since become a You Tube sensation with over twenty million views.
He will be joined by Britain’s Got Talent Edward Reid, who the nation mesmerized when he appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in June 2011. He sang his version of Leona Lewis’s ‘Run’ but with nursery rhymes replacing the original lyrics. Although Edward did not go on to win, he has proven to be the most memorable act from this year’s show.
A third headline act will also be the seemingly unstoppable Stavros Flatley. Finalists in 2009’s Britain’s Got Talent, Demetri and his son Lagi wowed the audiences with their unique style of dancing. Simon Cowell described them as one his “Favourite ever dance acts”.
Steph Fearon who is starring as Cinderella in this year’s Sands panto, will also be performing. In 2010, Steph took part in the BBC TV Talent Show ‘Over the Rainbow’, in which Andrew Lloyd Webber searched for an actress to play Dorothy in the West End Musical ‘The Wizard of Oz’ at the Palladium. Steph reached the semi finals eventually finishing in fourth place.
Also appearing at the event will be The Alleys, Stevie Las Vegas, Nikki Craig, Razzamataz Theatre School and the Richard Rose Dance Company.
