X Factor star set for party night in Ayr
The X Factor’s own Scottish sensation is returning to Ayr.
Emily Middlemas, 18, will perform at the Scottish Grand National Festival on Saturday, April 22.
The top teenage talent will sing her rousing version of the Proclaimers’ classic 500 Miles - sure to get Scotland’s biggest and richest raceday off to a rousing start.
Emily said: “I’m excited to perform at such a classic event and can’t wait to be a part of it.”
Emily made the semi finals of this year’s X Factor singing competition after impressing judges with her unique voice, wowing them with renditions of songs such as Radiohead’s Creep and Human by Rag’n’Bone Man.
She was the most succesful contestant under the tutelage of show supremo Simon Cowell this year, finishing in fourth place.
And she’s no stranger to the Auld Toun, having impressed when she performed at Ayr Central’s Christmas light switch- on in 2014.
Ayr Racecourse managing director David Brown said: “The Coral Scottish Grand National is always a truly special occasion and I am sure Emily’s very distinctive voice will add to the occasion.”
The Coral Scottish Grand National Saturday was a complete sell out in 2015 and 2016 and is expected to be the same this year.
