Two teenage performers astonished judges of Port Fairy's Rhapsody Idol competition yesterday with their slide guitar and keyboard talents. Warrnambool slide guitarist and vocalist Tom Richardson, 17, and Port Fairy honky-tonk pianist Ezra, 18, were awarded equal first place in the well-attended event. One of five judges, Garry Lockett, said the acts were the best seen in the Rhapsody Idol competition in years. "It was really quite a remarkable event because the two winners were absolutely outstanding. I think they are going to be big," he said. "We thought they were professionals. "Other acts such as hard rock band Emprica from Portland and acoustic guitarist Michael Ferguson from Port Fairy also impressed. The Rhapsody Idol event, part of Port Fairy's Rhapsody in June festival, took place in the drill hall on Bank Street.
