AN INVERNESS performing arts school group were on stage to support a major music event in aid of a Highland charity.

The performance company at TFX Performing Arts Academy put on a great show as they performed at the HIghland Hospice's main singing competition Ness Factor.

On the night performers were on show to support some of the finalists among which Lisa Gray (singing The Way You Make Me Feel), Stephen Laurie (Hungry Eyes), Andy Gill (Reet Petite) and Caitlin Farquhar (I'm Still Standing).

The group had been working on six routines to suit each finalists' song during their final performance

Claire Darcy, artistic director at TFX, said: "The event at Ness Factor went extremely well, we danced for five of the singers and had lovely feedback from the crowd including the judges.

"There was a great atmosphere and the students loved being apart of the backstage action.

"We have worked with the Highland Hospice for many years and love getting involved in all of their events.

"This is our first year suppling dancers for Ness Factor so they were really looking forward to it and loved the 1987's theme."

Rehearsals have been going well for TFX, its now time to fit in our fabulous singers and pull it all together.

On the run up to Christmas, the performance company will also be rehearsing to work with Liz Macintyre on her Hospice event, "A Magical Night of Christmas Songs & Carols",

The event will run on December Saturday, December 10 at Inverness Cathedral and will see songs and carols sung by individuals and choirs as well as TFX and Street Struck Dance turning the festive dance mood on on the night.

Ms Darcy added: "It is always a sold night, so get your tickets fast!

"We have had some very exciting meetings over the last couple of weeks for next year, the diary is filling up fast for our fantastic Performance Company but all will be revealed very soon."
