Abingdons got talent 2012 provided a fun filled hour and a half at lunchtime on the Market Place.

Most acts sang.

There were also a couple of dance acts and a magician.

Callam won the under 18s section singing “Proud Mary.”

We were lucky to get Geraldine Pierce from BBC South among the judges. This is her fifth year taking part.

Other judges were Eileen Bagshaw, Steve Rich (who gets more like Simon Cowell every year with his remarks) , and the Mayor Councillor Monica Lovatt.

In the over 18s section Pam Aird won singing “Someone like you” . That was the one time it rained

Normally Pam sings with sister Jackie. But this year Jackie is recovering from illness and was unable to perform, and so Pam sang solo.

Jackie was invited on stage to share the applause.

I have put up a short video that shows an extract of both Callam’s and Pam’s encores for anybody that missed it all.
