BBC Visit

The BBC were in town last week to interview Seven Stars and have a musical taster of Seven Stars talent.

BBC Look North presenter Peter Harris visited Seven Stars as they worked on Abba's hit song 'I Have A Dream'.

The Stars added sign language to the performance, making it more accessible to a wider audience - bringing groups together being a key theme of Seven Stars' works.

Stay tuned to your TV sets as Seven Stars will be appearing on LOOK NORTH local news soon!

Starlight

Seven Stars have published the first edition of their monthly newsletter "Starlight", which can be viewed and downloaded from the Headway Arts website.

Starlight will be published at the beginning of each month - and the first edition is even a day early (because the Stars don't work on Fridays.)
