The X Factor may have been in Manchester this weekend , but they missed some serious talent in Bury.

As part of our social media campaign for the retail and shopping heaven that is The Rock, Bury, we have been holding karaoke roadshows to recreate Nickelback’s rock anthem, ‘Rockstar’ with the locals of Bury and the surrounding areas as the stars.

Sunday saw us spending a lovely sunny day at the ‘Forever Bury’ event held at Bury FC, and I was amazed by the enthusiasm and energy of everyone who took part. The event, held at the famous Gigg Lane stadium, saw fans of all ages eating ice cream, getting autographs from players and rocking it with yours truly…. I was so inspired I had a little go myself (never to be seen footage… I hope!)

Everyone involved got into the spirit of the day and i can’t wait to see the results of this bury rocking video.

Simon Cowell was definitely in the wrong place, if he’d been with me he would have seen that Bury’s got the X Factor.
