After the wonderful weekend spent with BBC Radio Leicester and Takeover Radio 103.2, it was time for the Junior Star Singer Radio Tour to make its way to Nottingham.
Before hitting Nottingham, Amanda made a stop on the way to mentor Year Five and Senior students at Leicester High School for Girls on song writing.
The workshop covered a range of themes, including a look at the way that well established vocalists and lyricists work in the music industry; learning the structures of songs; and what it takes to be a dedicated songwriter and vocalist. The students all demonstrated their songs to their group and then sang together for a final session before they broke for lunch.

Amanda headed straight over to Sutton in Ashfield, but not before stopping
for a delicious fish and chips at the Ocean Blue Fish and Chip bar.
The size of their portions are enormous! Thanks to the girls in the shop for being so accommodating. I definitely recommend a visit if you ever find yourself in Sutton in Ashfield. It can get very hungry whilst on the road touring!!!
Next it was over to the radio station to prepare for the
show later in the day. Amanda headed to Take Over Radio 106.9 at Sutton Academy
where she met Rachael and head of the station Graham. Time for some quick pics before the contestants
arrive!
Amanda presented with co-host Rachael Summers who was also promoting her new song ‘One Step at a time’ featured on her EP. Both Amanda and Rachael listened to the eight contestants sing their hearts out and interviewed them afterwards hearing about their fantastic song writing skills, ambitions and dreams. Well done contestants!!!
Rachael also gave information on Youth Music which the tour
is in aid of. Youth Music supports young
people to help them develop musically who are not able to help themselves
because of economic problems, tough circumstances or behavioural issues. Please text donate on 'TOUR11 £5' to 70070 in support of
this worthy cause.
After the show, Amanda went on to mentor again at Electric
Bear Recording and Rehearsal Studios in Mansfield. In all, it was a long but brilliant
day, with lots of fantastic music, vocal ability and lyrics.
