SINGING is certainly a family affair for the McNeil sisters.

Liv, 19, and Halina, 12, of Newtown, Henlow, are hitting the right notes in competitions and last week were invited to audition for GMTV's search for the UK's No 1 musical family where the duo sang Get Here by Oleta Adams..

Recently Halina, a pupil at Henlow Middle School, won the under-18 section of Letchworth's Got Talent competition singing My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion.

"The girls are natural singers and with Liv being a singing coach Halina is getting plenty of help," said proud dad Barry McNeil.

Halina said this week she plans to enter the X Factor when she is old enough in four years time.

"I love singing and would like to be a professional singer one day. I love R & B and my favourite singers are Whitney Houston, Maria Carey and Beyonce," she said.

Liv has just started her own website so for more information about her coaching log on to www.vocalsessionswithlivmcneil.co.uk
