Choir seen on ITV's Britain's Got Talent to perform in Windsor

12:52PM, Friday 09 August 2024

A choir which wowed judges on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent will be performing at key locations across Windsor this month.

The BIG Sing appeared on the popular talent show in 2023 and are extending their tour of the UK, with a date in the diary for Windsor on Saturday.

There will be three performances across the day for the community to enjoy.

With almost 300 members attending, the choir will be performing on The Long Walk, Windsor Bandstand and outside Windsor Castle on the day.

The performances look to bring the Windsor community together while also highlighting the ‘very best of Britain to international tourists’.

The choir has previously toured alongside X Factor winner and musician Leona Lewis and performed for artists Ellie Goulding, Tom Walker and The Voice UK runner-up Leah McFall.

They will perform a range of classic and popular songs for all to enjoy.

The BIG Sing was founded in 2011 by Warwickshire-based Gemma Francis and her husband Howard.

The choir has spent the last 13 years helping to bring people together and unite the local community through the power of music.

Inspired by their popularity, the choir set up the charity arm The BIG Sing Soul, a part of Imagine the Day, in 2017.

The charity has raised £200,000 and looks to make music accessible for as many people as possible.

Gemma Francis, founder and director, said: “It has been truly inspiring to witness the profound impact the choir has had on so many lives.

“When we founded The BIG Sing in 2011, my husband and I recognised a crucial need to create a sense of community and bring people together through the power of music.

“What began as a small initiative has grown into a vibrant and supportive network that touches the hearts of countless individuals.

“Our performances in towns like Windsor have taken on an even greater significance.

“These events are not just about the music; they are about uniting people, fostering a strong sense of community, and spreading goodwill during challenging times.

“We believe that through our shared experiences and collective voices, we can make a positive difference and bring hope to those who need it most.”
