Camera crew follows stars

Published 3 Aug 2010 10:00

A TV crew arrived in the area on Friday to chart the progress of seven singing stars.

Singer Station has been in high demand since returning to Dumbarton and the Vale after an incredible performance on Channel Five's Don't Stop Believing on Sunday July 18.

And to document their whirlwind of interviews and appearances, Channel Five came to film the youngsters appearance on the YOUR Radio Breakfast show with Dave Ross before they were interviewed by the Reporter.

Louise MacFarlane, who launched the group with her husband Des, said: "Every single one of the kids has cancelled their holidays to be on the show.

"These kids are just taking it as it comes.

"They are still very raw and even judge Anastacia said that.

"They have been like wee kids in a sweetie shop."

The camera crews also filmed at Louise and Des's home in Bonhill.

Louise added: "I only found out the camera crews were coming to film at my house at 11pm on Thursday night, so it's all been very exciting."

The group, Kirsten Gibson, 16, Sian Ross, 14, Jenny Sim, 16, Kerri Glover, 14, Zaina Mabuye, 14, and Stuart Wilson, 15, all from Alexandria and Steven Thomson, 14, from Helensburgh - are now gearing up for the final.

Kirsten told the Reporter: "I don't think it's sunk in yet that we won. We're now working really hard rehearsing.

"We didn't expect to have such a big welcome when we got home and we couldn't believe it when we saw the huge banner. We are going to give 110 per cent for the final.

"We don't do it for the fame, we just love singing."
