NEWPORT singer-songwriter Tobias Robertson, who recently featured on BBC’s The Voice, will headline this June's Cwmbran Big Event.

The 22 year-old great nephew of the late Cilla Black was chosen by Boy George to join his team of singers following his performance of the Randy Newman favourite You’ve Got a Friend in Me, famously used in the Toy Story films.

He went on to compete in the battle rounds and is currently busy writing and recording material for a new album.

Mr Robertson said: “Being on the Voice was a great experience and I learnt a lot from Boy George and the other judges.

“I really appreciated everyone who voted for me and this is a chance for me to put on a great show to say thank you to everyone for their support.”

The Newport musician will headline a packed stage at the event, which takes place on Saturday, June 11 from 12pm until 5pm.

In addition to the musical entertainment, there will be sporting competitions, a raft race, a children’s fun fair, farm animals from Greenmeadow Community farm, and climbing wall, as well as a host of other activities and a huge variety of stalls.

For the first time in the event’s history, there will also be a laser tag arena.

Regular updates on the event, including details of stalls, exhibitions, performing artists and activities, will appear on torfaen.gov.uk/thebigevent.
