 With a bigger and better Bourne Free, Bournemouth's Pride Festival, planned for 2009 the organisers have put together the largest ever programme of fundraising events.
Bournemouth's Got The Bourne Free Pride Factor... And Possibly A New Drag Idol Strictly In The Xchange took place in February, with a host of local talent live on stage and representing the town's biggest gay bars and clubs.
All the performers faced a tough panel of local celebrity judges, with the best Drag King and Queen winning a cash prize and prime position in the Bourne Free Pride Parade.
Bourne Free Karaoke Idol, hosted by Lucinda Lashes at The Branksome, includes three heats on Monday 30th March, 27th April and 25th May each from 9pm, with the grand final during The Branksome Garden Party on Saturday 27th June.
Solo and group singers are invited to battle it out for a cash prize and the chance to sing live on stage at Bourne Free, which this year runs from Friday 10th until Sunday 12th of July and has a Big Top circus theme.
Judges for the competition include local legend Sally Vate, Mr Branksome aka Barry Hancock, and the Bourne Free Trustees. It costs just £1 to sing at any of the heats and there's no door charge for those just wanting to watch.
