The highlight of the week for me was attending the ever-popular Welsh Factor talent show, held at the Diplomat Hotel, Llanelli.

I do enjoy these occasions immensely as they keep me in touch with the grass roots of the entertainment industry.

Once again a sell-out audience witnessed acts from all across Wales. The place was alive with new raw talent just waiting for their big break.

All acts on the night were worthy of a place in the final, which will be held in the early part of 2017. The event was hosted and held together by one of the safest hands in showbiz, the Swansea legend that is Kev Johns.

More than 20 acts graced the stage, many of whom I hadn’t seen perform previously, which demonstrates that we do have an abundance of talent here in Wales.

I challenge each and every one of you to check out the local entertainment scene and support live entertainment as often as you can.

This can be extremely beneficial to your local community. Go on, I dare you. You know it makes sense
