Wooly Goes To London!

WH'sGT Was AMAZING this year and we found real talent...We had NO idea Wooly would continue his journey....To London and the REAL DEAL!

When we did Westward Ho!'s Got Talent (WH'sGT) in the village as part of the Sunset Festivals, we had no idea it would be the highlight. It captured hearts and mind of the audience, we had singers, dancers, acrobats and a dancing sheep.
Wooly the Sheep was a breath of fresh air, it was a different act, unusual act and never has anyone wanted to win the prestigious prize of turning on the Westward Ho! Christmas lights so much!!

Wooly's performance was seamless, it's fresh and fun. Wooly just wasn't happy with our stage in Westward Ho! and an audience of 400...No, the "Big Sheep's" mascot has gone bigger....gone MUCH bigger....to London....Wooly only went and got accepted for auditions for the REAL Britains Got Talent! LOVE IT.
On the final weekend of November, 2018, Wooly and Farmer Bodie left the green rolling fields of North Devon, heading to London to find fame and fortune. The magical duo met with the production crew of Britains Got Talent and were filmed around London, busking, before heading to the studio with their invite in hand. Wooly and Farmer Bodie have now completed the audition and are waiting for the phone call....Did they do enough?
We will be keeping everything crossed....Hoping that the producers see the magical spark in Jack that most call madness, nuts...In Westward Ho! we know it's just spirit...Jack and Bodie have no lack of spirit for sure!
We wish them all the best, love what they did here and can't wait to organise a bus to take people up to support them when they get through to the next round. 
Wooly and Farmer Bodie you both ROCK....We all love you and thank you for entertaining us over the summer.

We expected 150-200 people and ended up with a village full! The spirits were high and it did begin to feel a lot like Christmas. What a great 2019 Christmas Light switch on but it showed we have to grow this event too as it's no longer a small, intimate community event.
