Well done on todays performance through to the next round

well done today Alison and all the children fantistic in open comp not childrens ! wonderfull

We saw the choir in Basingstoke today. You had a real challenge being up against some really amazing adult competitors. We were thrilled to see that you were awared Joint Open Category Choir of the Day. Good job.

I understand that the Children's Choir will be competing this year in the Choir of the Year competition. My family and I just wanted to wish them good luck. They did such an excellant job in the 2010 competition that there is much to live up to but we are sure they will put on a great show. Good luck.

Thank you to the NFCC for your lovely music. This annual concert is always a sad event for those of us who have had a child who has received the
wonderful help from Naomi House. In our case, a granddaughter. It was so uplifting to see your happy faces. Your choice of music was appreciated so much. We know your conductor gives her time together with her 3 ladies from Harmony to Naomi concerts as we have been to one in Lymington before. Thank you again . We wish you well for your future success in all you do, either with the choir or on other fields. David and Joy Brown

I was the MC for last nights concert in Brockenhurst. I was grateful for all the information you had on the choir on you web pages. Ezxcellent. I was able to use most of the material in different ways.

The evening was a great success in everyway. for everyone who came, from children, singers, parents, grandparents, aunts uncles and others. The childrens choir and the 'new recruits' and emerging members of the junior choir were all great and enthusiastic. Harmony were excellent and added an extra flavour to the evening. Great singing all round.

Thank you for coming to Brockenhurst.. What talent and perhaps enough for a CD/DVD

Hi Alison. Your mother has just told me about your choir which I have been enjoying on your excellent web site. Congratulations, you are obviously doing a grand and worthwhile job. Do you remember the fun we all had at the restaurant in Berlin some years ago !!!!
With best wishes, Ted.

Shame it was a little bit of 'The Wreck' on 'This Morning' but I'm looking forward to seeing a whole lot more from you on the Gareth Malone prog

Choir - goof luck for filming today with Gareth Malone. Really looking forward to seeing you in Episode 8 of The Big Performance on CBBC............. Caroline

hey alison its erin really love the website

Well done all of you and of course to Alison and Natt. You did a fab job in Wales and made us all very proud of you. Keep singing!

I saw the choir on the Choir of the Year TV programme. I was blown away. You were all fantastic.

What a joy and a lovely surprise to see Alison and those dear children on BBC FOUR yesterday evening! They were just superb and I was delighted with the judges appreciative comments, which must have been so gratifying to Alison for all the work she must have put in during the time of the competition. What happiness the performance gave to everyone in the audience and watching at home. Please do give my congratulations to Alison on her achievement with the choir - a real success.

To the musical director, I am watching the Choir of the Year programme on BBC four and I have just heard the John Rutter piece. My mum used to sing with the Sheffield Philarmonic Chorus and the Chorus have sang this piece on numerous occasions. Your choir has just bought a little tear to me eye. it was simply wonderful. Very angelic sounding and great diction. Well done, you need to be very proud of yourselves. Totally amazing. Kind regards, Nicola Lovejoy. x

We have just watched the Choir of the Year final and were enchanted by your performance. The children sparkled with enthusiasm and we must give a very strong commendation to the soloist who was superb. She was absolutely in tune and in control. Well done to you all. My choice at the end was between the winners and your choir.

I think you should have been awarded the Choir of the Year Prize in that you are a superb choir and absolutely outstanding considering that you were only 20 in number with an age rage from 5 to 12. Well done to your musical director for being able to enthuse and shape a choir to such a high standard.

Hi, We watched you on Saturday for the first time. The choir was brilliant and so lucky yo have Alison Russell-Hayward who deserves an award for all she is doing for these young children

Have just watched you on the BBC4 Choir of the Year, and you sang even more beautifully than I realised on the actual day!
Well done to everyone - this was an amazing achievement to get to the Grand Final. You will treasure it forever!

Just watched you on BBC4 - brought back the lovely time last Sunday. Congratulations on a superb performance. Just wait for the phones to ring...

CONGRATULATIONS to you all. What a fantastic journey we have been travelling together and fabulous memories and great experiences collected along the way. For a choir that was formed a short time ago, you have achieved so much with Alison working so hard at the helm. You should all be so proud of yourselves and what great friends we have all made too. Looking forward to continuing the journey into the future.

After listening to the final last night I just wanted to congratulate you once again on an excellent performance. I love the sweetness and simplicity of both the singing and the musical accompaniment, which personally I much prefer to the jazzy/theatrical approach. Also you have proved that young children can sing traditional religious music as well as modern songs with great beauty and enjoyment, whereas some of the other choirs seemed to dismiss the former as boring and old-fashioned. Alison really did an amazing job and I would like to wish you all the best for the future.

With thanks

I have just heard your performance in the Choir of the Year Final on Radio 3. I thought you made an awesome sound; listening to the Rutter carol was probably the musical highlight of my year.

I'm not usually moved to write randomly to complete strangers, but you really made my day, at the end of a long session working in a hospital.

The future of choral singing is assured. Congratulations.

You all sang so beautifully yesterday, you ARE BBC CHILDRENS CHOIR OF THE YEAR and you all did so well. You should all be very proud of yourselves and have some lovely life long memories of singing at a very special place and taking part in the final of such a prestigious competion. Well done to you all and above all Alison, who has worked her socks off.

Thank you all of you for making yesterday such a wonderful day to remember. The standard was amazing and you were up there with the best of them. And you ARE BBC Children's Choir of the Year for two years, so make the most of it because you all deserved it. Alison - they were/are a credit to you.

Many congratulations to Alison, the choir and their parents, and their new accompanist for doing absolutely brilliantly! We look forward to hearing/seeing the recording/video on BBC in due course!

Love

Patrick and Jane Lee

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to everyone for a wonderful performance yesterday (Sunday) afternoon at The Royal Festival Hall. Well done to you all.

Well done on your fantastic achievement. Good luck for the final - we're looking forward to seeing your performance on TV.

Your perfomances fill me with joy, move me to tears and make me laugh all within the space of about 10 minutes. Truly fantastic pure sound. Such a happy little group who have so much fun together whether it be singing or enjoying a bbq at the beach. So proud of you all.

As we have so much on over the next few days (not just the Choir) - I needed to get this in before I forget:

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL

I'll be there waving my Union Flag and praying.....and cheering you on

Wishing you all the best

love

Really beautiful. Well done to you all, and good luck for Sunday. We will be thinking of you. From your 2 fans all the way from Australia.

Truly amazing, such control especially considering how young some of the members are. Beautiful voices and a great performance. All the luck for the finals, you absolutely deserve to be there,

You have such a truly beautiful pure sound that moves so many people. Don't stop what you are all doing so well. Fingers crossed for Sunday.

I was so pleased to see you had won through. Well done! We'll be rooting for you later this month! With all best wishes from Rupert, Naomi and Harry.

Just heard you again since last week. Well done to you all, very well deserved win. All the best for the final will be listening out for it.

Kind regards

I heard you for the first time on Radio 3 on Sunday 14th November and was enchanted by such beautiful singing.

I very much hoped you would win but thought there was probably no chance against much larger and older aged choirs, so was thrilled when the result was announced. Well done, you are wonderful!

Your choir moved me profoundly. Delicate depth.

I was very happy to see you go to the Finals. (p.s., I heard you on BBCradio from France where I am visiting from the States).
