The Open Auditions are in Glasgow SECC on Saturday 31 March from 8.00am, so if you think you’ve got what it takes to impress the programme talent scouts,  then get down to the SECC.

Liz Clark and a few others from Celtic Music Radio will be meeting some of the X Factor hopeful singers and artists encouraging them to provide any demo performances in either CD or in any other format so that Celtic Music Radio could give a helping hand to fresh new talent.
