Singer hoping to hit the right note with new single

A YOUNG Plymouth man is hoping to catch the attention of BBC Radio 1 after releasing his first song.

Dillan Barnes, who is known as BARNSEY, says he started making music when he was five.

Now aged 20, he has released single 'When We Was Friends' and is set to be played on Janner Radio, a local community-ran station in the city. But Dillan has hopes to catch the attention of Radio 1 DJs.

Dillan, who produces his own tracks, says he has "had all sorts of feedback", positive and negative.
