A NATIONWIDE search for a new singing sensation is coming to Glasgow.

The Mecca bingo clubs on Drumchapel, Forge and Quay are hosting live auditions and recording sessions to launch Star Search, a brand new national talent competition being run by Mecca across the UK.

The best singers at the Glasgow events stand a chance of joining other local and regional heat winners at a star-studded national final, which is being held as part of a Star Search celebration weekend at Mecca Blackpool in June.

And the overall Star Search winner will receive the ultimate star treatment as their prize, jetting off to Los Angeles on a once-in-a-lifetime trip for two to Hollywood, with accommodation in a top Beverley Hills Hotel and spending money thrown in.

The Glasgow auditions are being held from 4.30pm on Saturday. Entrants will be able to select their own backing track on the night and all performances will be filmed.
