ATV New Faces BLOG

Following extensive research of newspaper archives this blog catalogues the shows, judges, acts and winners of the ATV talent show New Faces. There are also numerous career profiles of notable acts that have appeared on the show, some that became household names and some who’s star faded all too quickly. This is a work in progress and will eventually document all six series of the seventies plus the three revival series from the eighties.
