A talented 14-year-old from Renton is ‘buzzing’ after winning £800 singing in a talent competition by finishing top in the first-ever contest she’s entered.
A fourth-year student at the Vale of Leven Academy, Alaya Mairaed Thomson won Flamingo Land’s Got Talent in North Yorkshire against some tough competition.
Alaya has been singing all her life and has done shows singing with Louise and Des McFarlane’s Singer Station school of music and has even performed at a number of weddings this summer.
