LOCAL singer-songwriter Jeff Beale (pictured) has been crowned the city's most talented performer after taking out the final round of Griffith's Got Talent.
Three stirring performances, including a rendition of Cold Chisel classic Khe Sahn and a self-penned ballad titled Never Want It To End, sealed the title for the 41-year-old musician.
Mr Beale only started writing songs about five years ago and said he was "pleasantly surprised" to win the competition, held at the Griffith Ex-serviceman's Club on Friday night.
