Scotmin Nutrition sponsor SAYFC East Cabaret and Talent Spot

The team at Scotmin Nutrition are delighted to once again support SAYFC West Region Talent Spot and East Region Cabaret.

“After the success of last year’s events, we were all too happy to be able to lend our support in 2019. Sponsoring the events gives us a fantastic opportunity to give back to the agri-community and support young farmers who are so vital to the future of agriculture.”

Last month East Cabaret Final saw East Fife

JAC take home the win after performing their convent parody “Bad Habits”. The performance saw the cast dawn on their robes and head to ITV studios to audition for Britain’s Got talent in order to live their singing dreams.

The West Regional Talent Spot will be held on Saturday 23rd March 2019 at the SEC Armadillo, Glasgow with the first performance starting at 7.00pm (doors open 6.00pm).

Tickets are priced at £16 and are available from www.shop.sayfc.org
