And the team are now seeking musicians from Wakefield to apply for a place in the show.

In an advert for the application, RDF Television said: "The show wants to hear from all musicians - singers, guitarists, drummers, keyboard players, saxophonists and more.

"Don’t worry what type of music you specialise in or if you’re a bit rusty, if you play every day or haven’t hit a note in years, as long as you can play, we want to hear from you!

"If your mum, dad, granny, grandad, or next door neighbour play, let them know too!"
