A BRADFORD primary school sang alongside the stars at a national choir concert.

Pupils from multiple years at Wibsey Primary participated in Young Voices 2020 on Tuesday, January 14.

It took place at the FlyDSA Arena, Sheffield.

More than 5,000 students from across Yorkshire performed songs or dances at the event.

This is just one in a series of five Young Voices concerts, which take place right across the country.

In total, 60,000 children will have taken part between January 7 and February 7.

This includes taking in venues like The O2 Arena in London and Manchester Arena.

Wibsey Primary School choir members, from years three, four, five and six, got their first ever taste of the Young Voices event.

It was made extra special by the attendance of some celebrity singers.

Spandau Ballet's lead singer, Tony Hadley, was joined by country duo The Shire and The Voice UK 2018 winner, Ruti.

Wibsey's pupils spent weeks preparing for the event and joined other pupils on the day for an afternoon rehearsal.

Then came the big moment, between 7pm and 9pm, as everyone sang as one for an audience of 5,000 parents, carers and teachers.

The songs included Best of the West, Queen Medley, Frightfest, Pop Medley and many more.

Joanne White, the Music Lead at Wibsey Primary School, said: "We had an amazing time at Young Voices.

"The children sang their hearts out and really enjoyed singing and dancing along with the professionals."

Headteacher Nigel Cooper said: "The Young Voices experience is one of a number of events the school choir has participated in over the last few years.

"The music offer at Wibsey Primary has expanded in recent years.

"The children have been given more opportunities to show off their musical and performance skills.

"This has resulted in many of them gaining confidence at playing instruments, singing and dancing which helps to make them better learners."
