The
talented teens sang their best to secure one of ten places in the 2013 Urban
Quest Finals Concert, to be held at the Darwin Waterfront next Saturday, 6
July.
Former
Australian Idol judge Mark Holden
delivered three touchdowns rewarding VJ Bumanlag, Tatiana Da Silva and
Charlotte Gittins with their ticket into the Final.
"Darwin
- Casuarina Square - a star is born," Mr Holden said about 14 year old
Gittens for her memorising rendition of Regina Spektor's Samson.
“The
talent this year is the best I’ve seen at Urban Quest over the past three years
- it’s true,” he added.
The
ten Urban Quest finalists include two performers from Katherine and Jenaya
Allen from Alice Springs.
They
will now receive three days intensive mentoring with Mark Holden and country
singer Paul Costa ahead of the Finals Concert.
Holden
and Costa will then team up with Darwin’s very own singer songwriter Dave
Garnham and Music NT’s Amy Hetherington to judge the 2013 Urban Quest.
The
Urban Quest Finals Concert is free for the public and will be held under the
stars at the Darwin Waterfront from 6pm.
