Performers
 |
Jon Else – The Steve Stuart Partnership This corporate finance crooner has a fondness for all things Scottish and is a very frustrated rock and roll star. He counts The Stone Roses, Morrissey and The Zutons amongst his musical influences. “Oh what could have been”, he says, “if I only I could sing or could have been bothered to learn to play the guitar”. http://www.justgiving.com/jonelse |

Martin McQueen – Halliwells LLP A lifelong Michael Ball fan this lawyer used to earn a crust as a Neil Diamond tribute singer. Nowadays he’s busy romanticising about what might have been, “If I could be someone from any era, I’d be Frank Sinatra, somewhere in the 50s, wearing a tux (with the bow tie undone) and singing with a 60-piece swing band”. Liverpool - watch out! http://www.justgiving.com/martinmcqueen |

Frank Herlihy – Dow Schofield Watts Our private equity king is inspired by Chas and Dave and Right Said Fred. A prior career as a bingo caller has led him to believe he has missed his true potential as Liverpool’s Idol. He’s hoping his legs 11 will be too sexy for the stage. http://www.justgiving.com/liverpoolidol-frankherlihy |

Carla Whitehead – PKF This female version of Meatloaf is convinced she has what it takes to be Liverpool’s first Idol. A personal pen friend of Gary Barlow, she needs to take the crown, stop working 9 till 5 and make a living as a Take That’s backing singer. Liverpool Idol is her platform to make sure everything changes. http://www.justgiving.com/liverpoolidol-carlawhitehead |

Mike Petyt - Medicash Our rocket man wants to fly us all to the moon as part of his quest to take the Liverpool idol tiara. Let’s hope his enterprise pays off and his performance is as inspiring as his musical hero, Alvin Stardust. The godfather of British rock and roll. Ahem. http://www.justgiving.com/liverpooldiol-mikepetyt |
 |
John McCaffery – Grant Thornton “I want to be a rock star so I can retire at 25” enthuses our man. Let’s hope he isn’t singing his favourite song, Desperado. He’s busy learning his dance moves under special choreography instruction from the Krankies and is already widely touted as the housewives favourite. http://www.justgiving.com/johnmccaffery |

Edmund Chan – DLA Piper Kicked in to touch by Mr Cowell, this contestant is a real life Pop Idol contestant. He’s now looking at the more realistic Liverpool Idol crown and is chomping at the bit to emulate his musical hero, Bono. He has a real love of music, particularly Duran Duran, who “take me to a happy place in my childhood which involved eating worms, mutilating gerbils and firing peanuts out of my nostrils”. http://www.justgiving.com/edmundchan |

Jennifer Lee - KPMG This corporate tax gal is a Karaoke Princess. She can often be heard whistling Dolly Parton while she works and even has her own CD out but she admits that she paid someone to make it for her. She loves all genres of music and when she’s not singing or dancing she’s making plans to build JennyWood, just outside Kirkby. http://www.justgiving.com/jenniferleekpmg |
 |
Colin Wardale - Hill Dickinson This finance whizz and oldest competitor by some distance, describes his motivations for entering Liverpool Idol as a lethal combination of stupidity, vanity and charity. A failed entrant for both Britain’s Got Talent and Sale of the Century he’s hoping it’s third time lucky on home turf. http://www.justgiving.com/liverpoolidol-colinwardale |

Lisa Murphy This self confessed karaoke queen is a natural born performer, making her debut dance performance at the Royal Gala in front of Prince Charles, aged 4. It wasn’t until her teens that Lisa realised she could sing and then there was no stopping her! She formed a covers band which has toured working mens clubs across Merseyside for more than ten years. Lisa sees Liverpool Idol as the chance to live her dream... she’s going to “give it all she has and hope for the best”. http://www.justgiving.com/liverpoolidol-lisamurphy/ |

A Few Good Men Contestants will be supported by the top rock and pop covers band in North West England - A Few Good Men. |
