A MUSICIAN from Kidderminster is in the running for a national songwriter’s competition, judged by Sir Bob Geldof.

Dale Von Minaker is through to the fourth heat of the annual national YouBloom song contest.

Heading up the panel of four judges is none other than Sir Bob Geldof, alongside legendary producer Rupert Hine who has worked with Tina Turner, Rush and Suzanne Vega.

Dale said YouBloom is “a competition based purely on songwriting ability rather than the image of the artist.”

He added: “I have entered my self-penned composition called Everybody Wants A Revolution which has been well received but I need to get into the final three of my heat for the judges to hear and give their opinion.”
