The best of Bassett put their talents on full display in the clubhouse this Saturday at 'Bassett's Got Talent'.

The rugby club held the Karaoke & Talent Night following the 1st and 2nd team's final home games of this season.

Taking the stage to a packed clubhouse, compère Chris Patterson introduced acts as diverse as a Laurel & Hardy tribute, a violin solo and a sing-along rock favourite, through to a Werzels cover, a Two Ronnies sketch and a cross-dressing lip sync performance.

Following the nine performances, two acts made their way to the head-to-head final: 

Imogen Johnson who wowed the audience with her show-stopping rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Misérables - and Gary Darragh who stunned the crowd with a Singin' In The Rain / Umbrella mash-up, backed up by a team of butch-looking Rhianna look-alikes.

 

But the winner was...

The audience chose Imogen Johnson as overall winner after an encore of her emotional showtune. A well-deserved champion.

With the range of talent on show, this is sure to become a popular annual event - so rehearse those vocals and practice juggling your balls ready for a return of the event next year.
