This Is What They Are Saying About Us!

“Wheatley Idol is a great competition for beginners because of the non-intimidating stage set on a grassy hill area where family and friends can bring their chairs and blankets, and enjoy a day of great music. This singing contest has been around for ten years and brings participants from all around Southwestern Ontario, attracting some of the best voices making it one of the most competitive shows. It’s the best of both worlds at Wheatley Idol. You won’t be disappointed!”
