THE prizes in a karaoke competition in the Whitakers Arms, Accrington, are so good the man whose organising it is entering!

John Walsh, head chef and head of entertainment at the Burnley Road pub is to flex his vocal chords with a view to winning the £200 top prize.

But complete impartiality is guaranteed as the judges of the singing contest are from the sponsors.

The competition began on Friday and runs every Friday starting from 7.30pm and will run for 11 weeks.
