BEING able to sing is a talent, but York singer-songwriter Beth McCarthy has a voice in a million – literally.

Because on Saturday, Beth wowed judges on BBC 1’s The Voice and now has a dream-come-true opportunity to improve her abilities even further under the mentorship of Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs.

While we were watching the show it was apparent that here was a precocious talent. So it came as no surprise that Beth impressed the judges.

We will watch her future progress with interest and send our congratulations.
