ECSTASY FOR HAYLEY AFTER FESTIVAL WIN
A Swansdike teenager won first prize on the final evening of the Froghill Arts and Music Festival last Saturday.
Hayley Grote pocketed the £500 winner’s cheque for a song about existential angst.
Eighteen-year-old Hayley, a trainee hygienist at the Teeth-U-Like dental practice, wowed the judges with her self-penned ballad (I'm Just) Like a Hamster in a Wheel.
Said chief judge Redfers Nuthatch: “Personally, I can’t stand rodents. Well, not unless they’re on skewers, anyway. But Hayley’s performance was so imbued with emotion that it quite won me over.”
When asked what she would spend the money on, a jubilant Hayley replied: “I'm not sure – it hasn’t really sunk in yet.
“But I think I might score myself some Ecstasy and then go clubbing in the West End.”
