Singers and dancers from as young as seven to as wise as 80 are among the final line-up for Hounslow Has Talent 2016.
The solo artists and groups are busy rehearsing as they prepare to battle it out on stage at the Paul Robeson Theatre for a chance to be crowned Hounslow's superstar and bag the £500 prize on June 4.
A panel of judges will select the winner and there will be special performances from last year’s winner Alicia Wilkins from Brentford , third place contestant singer Megan Price, Highfield singers and Society Dance crew.

The talent show, run by Ruth Wood from Feltham Arts Association and Ray Coleman, club secretary at Feltham Bees Disabled Sports Club, is also raising money for chosen charity Hounslow Toy Library.
Ruth Wood of Feltham Arts said: “We are really excited about this year’s show. We have a wide and varying range of acts from the very young to the not-quite-so young.
“It is a show that will appeal to everyone and we have four very special guest acts to complete the bill.
“We hope to raise over £1,000 for our chosen charity, Hounslow Toy Library.”
Mr Coleman added: “Yet again, we have a show which is truly representative of the borough as a whole, featuring the young and the not-quite-so-young.
"An evening to entertain and enthral and which will appeal to everyone.”
The talent show is inspired by ITV's Britain's Got Talent, and viewers of the latter were angered this week as Bollyfest Fusion dance group were kicked off despite getting rave reviews from the judges .
