Stars in their eyes
Skiffle band

Skiffle band Swinging Affair - soon to be seen on the streets of Nottingham

Shoppers in Nottingham will have a little extra to listen to and see this Bank Holiday.

A series of "street stars" will be performing around Forman Street, home of the Cornerhouse, one of the city's main entertainment areas.

The artists were chosen after a series of auditions.

When it came down to the final selection performers had to show a panel of judges just what they were capable of.

Among those taking part were musicians, jugglers and a limbo dancer.

Steve Truman was one of the successful applicants.

He's part of a three-piece band, 'Swinging Affair,' specialising in skiffle style music and is delighted to have been chosen to entertain the crowds over the summer.

Steve said, "I've been busking for years throughout the East Midlands and even in Seville in Spain. This is a huge opportunity and I'm delighted to have a guaranteed pitch in Nottingham."

A body artist known only as Greg has also been chosen.

Although not what you'd expect in an entertainment style-arena, Greg's confident he'll offer something out of the ordinary.

"Temporary body art is a great way to express yourself only limited by the imagination. It's fantastic to give something back to the community."

Cornerhouse Centre Manager, Suzanne Green explains the idea behind the street stars: "We want to provide a Convent Garden-style atmosphere around The Cornerhouse for guests this summer and so this was a great opportunity for anyone with a talent.

I am really impressed with the winners and look forward to seeing them at work from May Bank Holiday onwards."

So more entertainment for Nottingham city centre and not a bad job to grab.

The street stars will work three hour shifts earning up to £40 every hour.
