Rowetta heads for Gayvision in Torremolinos

12th Sept 2011
ROWETTA MANCHESTER HEADS FOR SPAIN!
Fresh from changing her surname to promote her home city, singing star Rowetta, famous
for wooing Simon Cowell on the X Factor and her time with the Happy Mondays, is heading
to Spain to represent Manchester and the UK in a singing competition called ‘Gayvision’.

Gayvision brings together singing talent from across Spain as they compete for the title –
with last year’s winner going on to being picked as an entrant for Eurovision 2012.
Now, with Gayvision into its second year and following on from Manchester being awarded
the accolade of most gay friendly city in the world by Expogays, the Business Expo based in
Torremolinos, Malaga, Rowetta has been asked to participate and fly the flag for the City
and UK’s LGB&T community on Saturday October 15th.

Rowetta, who presents her own show on Gaydio every Saturday from 4-6pm, will be
performing her self-penned song ‘Mother Love’ on the night and already the website with
details of the song plus the other 19 contestants is getting strong support.

She said ‘I’ve always been a massive supporter of the gay community and I’m passionate
about diversity and equality, so it’s an absolute honour for me to be heading to Gayvision
and doing what I love to do – sing my songs!’

You can hear the song and see more online at the website www.uk.gayvision.net - you can
also follow Rowetta for updates on Twitter @Rowetta

Gaydio will also be at the event, broadcasting programmes into the weekend with Showbiz
Reporter Alex Goldberg getting star feedback and talking to fans.
