BASILDON'S Festival Leisure Park will be jumping to the sound of the town's musical hopefuls tonight as the Chicago Rock Cafe plays host to a talent contest.
Rock Academy will include bands, singers and musicians battling it out for the chance to win a £3,000 prize.
Based on the Pop Idol format, each act will be judged individually, with the best winning £100 and moving on to the area final, to be held at the nightspot next month.
