Sand Bay X Factor
The special feature was held as part of the Sand Bay Keyboard Cabaret Weekend. It took place at the Sand Bay Leisure Resort (near Weston-super-Mare) on the weekend of 15th October 2010
The feature was produced by Ian Griffin (left) ,Britain's Award Winning Keyboard Entertainer, who was the musical director on HTV (Wales) with a programme called "Friday Night Live' - a talent programme with celebrity judges.
Looking back in time to the show format that appeared on HTV in 1996 - on which the Sand Bay X-Factor was based.
One of the celebrity judges on the HTV (Wales) 'Friday Night Live' show was Vicki Michelle (right) from the famous TV comedy 'Allo, Allo'.
Following the auditions with Ian and the show's producer, the selected singers sang live on TV in front of a studio audience.
The winners were selected by the celebrity panel.
The Sand Bay X Factor followed a similar format with judges from show business.
Also on the celebrity panel of the final 'Friday Night Live' HTV talent show was Hughie Green (left) - famous for his long running 'Opportunity Knocks' radio and television shows. It was his last appearance on television before he sadly died a year later at the age of 77.
