    A competition is seeking talented young musicians with the offer of playing Leeds and Reading Festivals.

    The Martin House Hospice Centre Stage competition, now in its 10th year, hosts heats in Leeds Belgrave Music Hall before a final at the city’s O2 Academy.

    The chosen winners then have the chance of a lifetime to play in front of thousands of people at the summer festivals.

    The scheme has raised more than £225,000 for Martin House, which cares for children and young people with life-limiting conditions.
