Andrew Johnston
Andrew Johnston has been a classical singer since the age of six and sings with the Carlisle Cathedral Choir. Andrew's hero is Aled Jones and he hopes to be as big as him one day.
Andrew has been singing at Carlisle Cathedral since he was 7 because his primary teacher said he had a good voice. Mr Suter (his Choirmaster) gave him his audition and he has been there ever since.
There have been times when Andrew has wanted to quit because of peer pressure and bullying but he has had the kindness, discipline and safety of the Cathedral to help him through. Andrew has had so many wonderful times at choir and he so wanted to be head chorister and that is what he has now achieved by sticking with it and it was a very proud moment for him.
Despite being bullied for singing in a choir Andrew wants the chance to prove that his talent is not something to be ashamed off.
Cheeky Monkeys
Charlie and Krista have been dancing together for the last 12 months after meeting at a local dance school. After initially trying out dancing lessons for a bit of fun Charlie has not looked back and now competes at a National level.
Krista started dancing at 4, and was introduced to Charlie by her dance teacher. After hitting it off the pair called themselves the Cheeky Monkeys and have been competing together and have won every competition they have entered together. As a duo they are Rock and Roll champions and Krista is also a solo Rock and Roll champion.
Although Krista thinks Charlie can be a bit bossy they are the best of friends.
