Searching for talent
The biggest talent quest held in Christchurch, organised at a cost of about $40,000, will begin on Saturday.
The quest, which is open to soloists, bands, and variety acts, will be held simultaneously at various city hotels until the grand final, at the
Russley Hotel, on December 10. Called the “Star Search,” its aim is to find acts to work in the taverns . and hotels. Contracts will be offered with Lion Breweries to winners. There is a one week's engagement in Auckland offered to the winner of the “entertainers”, (other than groups) section. Cash prizes totalling more than $2OOO are also offered. Conditions of entry are outlined on the entry forms, available from the Bishopdale. Woolston. Hornby and Esplanade Taverns, the Shirley Lodge and the Russley Hotel. The band quest is limited to 12 entries, and details are available from the venue for that section, the Blenheim Road Motor Inn.
