Singer Amy in semi-finals
A singing starlet has made it to the semi-finals of a major competition just years after being diagnosed with cancer.
Amy Quinn, from Springburn, is set to travel to Birmingham later this month to battle it out for a place at the Open Mic UK finals at London’s O2 venue.
It marks a remarkable turnaround for Amy - she was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 19 in 2012 and, after two operations and six months of chemotherapy she is now in remission.
