Two singers who auditioned for The Voice talent show are set to perform in Keekle this week.

Teenagers Willow Jarvis and Jessica Gibbon are due to perform at Keekle Village Hall on Friday event.

They are supporting the main headline act, The Maverick. He will be performing tunes from the 1950s to modern day songs with a rockabilly/ popabilly twist.

Doors open at 7pm. Tickets are £5 on the door. People can take their own tipple.

The teenage support acts performed at auditions for the ITV talent show at The Ennerdale Tap at Ennerdale Brewery in May.

Willow said: "Big influences on my music began through musical theatre and then artists such as Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift greatly influenced me due to their songwriting which led me to writing my own songs.

"I often sing songs that come under the pop/indie category and throw in a few classics. I've taken part in several competitions, my most successful would be Open Mic UK where I got through to the semi-finals and Northern Star where I got through to the finals."

Willow has also taken part in charity events in aid of KatyCan and Soundwave Cumbria and has also been to Cambodia with Camps International to help improve the living standards of people there.

Jessica, 16, said: "I have always loved singing and have learnt many instruments while growing up. My favourite instrument to play is the ukulele because it is so small and cute. I recently did my first music festival at Aspatria. I can still remember how nervous I was however, as soon as I sang a few songs my nerves disappeared and I had the time of my life."

Regular music events are held at Keekle Village Hall to raise cash for improvements there.
