ACOUSTIC duo Groucutt and Haynes hope fans will help them win a high profile talent show.

Rob Groucutt and Dan Haynes, who have been playing together since last year, are taking part in the T4 Hollyoaks Music Show, a competition which will profile nine unsigned acts from around the country. The overall winner, voted for by viewers, will perform on the Channel 4 drama.

Stourbridge-based Groucutt and Haynes have been drumming up support by playing at local Matalan stores. They were at the Malvern branch on Wednesday and will perform live at the Merry Hill store tonight (Dec 4). The gig will start at 7.30pm.

Voting starts on Saturday, December 12
