The search is now on for vocal talent as Ness Factor 2025 launches!
Highland Hospice supporter Lornagh Siegel is looking for 10 individual performers, duets or groups. Participants will be provided with professional vocal coaching lessons and take part in rehearsals for individual and group performances.
The stars will perform live on stage at the Drumossie Hotel on Saturday 15th November, to a panel of judges and a live audience of family and friends. Contestants must have no professional singing experience and be committed to both their training and fundraising for the Hospice. The winner is chosen from a combination of judges scoring, audience votes and fundraising effort.
The winning act of Ness Factor 2025 will perform live at the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival in July 2026.
Highland Hospice fundraiser Emma Nicol said, “I am delighted to be again working with Hospice supporter Lornagh Siegel on this year's Ness Factor. It's really exciting to see the incredible talent that's out there. If you want to elevate your singing from karaoke to the next level then this is the competition for you! Not only is it a great opportunity to work with our very talented vocal coaching team, the event also raises vital funds to support Highland Hospice and the winning act will perform at Belladrum 2026! One of the most amazing things for Lornagh and I is seeing the success stories which have come from the event, with many singers going on to front bands, join successful choirs, star on stage and screen and write and produce their own music. Ness Factor is an amazing way to have fun and improve your vocal ability while supporting Highland Hospice in the delivery of the right care, in the right place, at the right time.”
