NAMES: Demetrios and Michalakis Andreas (aka Lagi) Demetriou

AGE: 41 and just turned 13

FROM: North London

JOB: Electrical Company Director and student

TALENT: Comedy dancers

BACKGROUND: Demetrios and Michalakis are father and son and describe their act as two fat versions of Michael Flatly with a Greek element. This act originates from when Demetrios owned a Greek restaurant seven years ago. In the restaurant he would provide entertainment to his customers after their meal. He took centre stage and would perform acts such as Stavros Flatly. His son occasionally visited the restaurant, however he had only heard what his dad did, he had never saw the act. Demetrios noticed an advert for the show and thought it would be funny to enter. Michalakis said that “if you enter dad I’ll do it with you”. Demetrios has been teaching Micalakis their routine and he’s picked up all the moves extremely quickly, considering he’s only ever danced at weddings and parties! This will be their first big performance and Demetrios is extremely proud of his son. They both love it and think it’s the funniest thing they have ever done together. Demetrios, 40, and Michalakis, 12, live in Enfield with wife Karen, 39, and daughter Elle, 11.

AGE: 39

FROM: Birmingham

JOB: Private music teacher/ Freelance musician

TALENT: Saxophone player

BACKGROUND: Julian has been playing the tenor sax since he was 14. He had a couple of lessons at school to learn the basics before teaching himself from there. He is currently a saxophone and clarinet teacher although he used to also teach the bassoon. He teaches every weekend. He plays crossover classical music similar to Il Divo.
He has been working for years to become successful and has performed at pubs and restaurants in and around Birmingham. He would love to play larger arenas including theatres, and wants to be the centre of attention where everyone is focused on him.
When he plays in restaurants due to the hustle and noise Julian feels he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. He started playing on a regular saxophone and has progressed to a tenor sax over the past 15 years. He decided to play the tenor sax as it’s a unique instrument. His main influence is Kenny G and would love to be as well known.
