MUSIC is often a way to deal with tragedy.
It certainly was for 19-year-old Christian Burrows from Bolton. He was an early contestant on the new series of The X Factor with a song he wrote about his late brother, Thunder Buddy which brought a tear to the eyes of judges. They appreciated the sentiments and his singing and put him through to the next round.
Also through were talented group Yes Lad which includes three local performers – Luke Gregory from Bolton, Cian Gleeson from Horwich and Sonny Hardman from Atherton.
Good luck, lads – you’re all doing us proud!
