Josh Dubovie to Star on Basfest Stage

A talented teenage singer tipped as the next Michael Buble has been revealed as a late act for this year’s Basildon Festival. Billericay star, Josh Dubovie, will be playing on the main stage at the upcoming two-day festival organised by Basildon Council in Gloucester Park.

The 17-year-old, who recently won the Southend United Blues Idol competition, will be performing a mix of swing music from people such as Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble.

Josh, who is studying at the Billericay School sixth form, is strongly backed to become a future stage and screen star. As well as performing in theatre shows such as Les Miserable and My Fair Lady, he has also appeared in Hollyoaks. His television careers looks set to take off after being shortlisted to play a major role in the third series of the Channel 4 show, Skins.

Josh will be performing on the main stage at the Basildon Festival on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 July at 5pm. Among the other artists booked to appear at the free festival include X-Factor finalists, Journey South, and tribute acts for Amy Winehouse and The Beatles.
