Final update! Thanking you all!

Update posted by Paul Clifford

Hi everyone, I wanted to give you all a final update on the story and process and where we stand now.. wow what can I say, it's been a Journey! From Shaun and seb and friends starting the campaign and setting the plan into action from a call one news years eve saying we are entering you into xfactor to flying home after raising over a thousand pounds only to find out the day of the auditions the auditions are canceled and not to show up to anymore audition dates. Needles to say we were frustrated and disappointed to find out this news, and not from xfactor themselves but from a post from the location of the auditions and their Facebook page...

After seeing articles in the papers about xfactor being axed and people left out in the cold after rptravel plans we set about contacting the newspapers and media. We did have some interest from the sun, and breakfast T.V but due to xfactor not officially telling us that the show has been cancelled they could not run the story.,

It was at this time I saw a post online advertising open mic auditions for the t.v show "The Voice" 2020. An audition date was posted in Cardiff on the 23rd May..I was scheduled to fly back and b at work on the 18th. I immediately contacted the venue and conctact for the open mic audition and shared my story, asking for simply a chance to perform one song at the end of all the other auditions. I explained we would be traveling from Taunton over 100 miles just to get that spot, luckily as fate intervened I was given that chance and 1 spot,1 song.

We traveled to wales, entered the local spot which was small and much like a royal legion pub, with locals sitting around watching people audition with their choice of song and backing track. When my chance came I took the stage, set up my guitar and amp and shared my story and song, singing a song by Matt Corny called "Untitled". I got through it( days before Incouldnt even talk fro, being so sick with a chest infection that has been bothering me for months now) People gravitated to the story and song And I was the only person asked to sit down with the voice reps and producers.

The next step is flying back in June or July for one more audition before reaching the "Blind Audition Chair Turning" stages. Once a chair is turned you can select them to be your mentor and be on the team. Celebrity teams for 2019 are as follows. Will-I-am - /Jennifer Hudson/ Tom Jones/ Olly Murs


I received the email this week for. The next stage and await dates back to u.k sometime this summer,

I whole heartedly believe I can get onto this show and couldn't have done it without all of your help, love support money and guidance.

It is now time for me to focus on being in good shape, record and send out some original material, get my social media up and running and again showcase myself when the time comes.

It is with much love and heart that I thank each and every one of you.


We may return with a funding page or a news bulletin so I can keep you all posted, Feel free to leave me a message or direct message me, once again Thank you all. ❤️❤️
