Limelight Performance Academy is based in Port Talbot and its principal is Jo Abraham.  Jo provides a wonderful, safe environment to support, develop and mentor new talent and it is quite clear that the time, effort and dedication that she shows to these up and coming young stars really does pay off!

The winner of this year’s Welsh Factor Final at the Diplomat Hotel, Llanelli, was a young lady by the name of Miss Katie-Louise North.  Jo mentored Katie-Louise and also put together her stunning set production, this proved to be a winning combination.

Clearly by working together in a creative and encouraging way paid off, and what the audience and judges witnessed on the night was a production second to none. Everyone involved should be very proud of themselves.

Limelight Performance Academy and The Welsh Factor are raising the standards of live entertainment in Wales; this is something that is long overdue.

For me, every child should have the opportunity to explore the arts.  It helps to build their character, confidence and communication skills, something rarely achieved by sitting in front of a computer! Just a thought…..
