They have been successful in reaching the competition final from hundreds of entries, and will now perform in front a panel of celebrity judges at Westminster Abbey in London. This year's judges include Hayley Westenra, David Grant of BBC One's Fame Academy, and Director General of the RSCM, Professor John Harper. There will also be a performance from All Angels, featuring Laura Wright - BBC Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year 2005. There will be two winners - one boy and one girl - each of whom will receive a trophy and a prize of £500. In addition, their choirs will each receive a BBC Chorister's award of £1000. The winners will also get the chance to appear on Radio 2's Good Morning Sunday and Sunday Half Hour, Radio 4's Daily Service, plus a TV appearance on BBC One's Songs Of Praise and Heaven & Earth. Apply for free tickets HERE. Please note: Doors open at Westminster Abbey at 1645. The recording begins at 1730 and the audience are requested to be seated by 1715. Roger

That is certainly one up for All Angels. It is surprising that Angelis, featuring Sam Adams Nye, are not given air time as well. Perhaps Simon Cowell is not welcome in BBC2.
No doubt Mr Abbott will be in the audience looking for next year's new talent!

Hello Nick! The competition is unlikely to be transmitted live on the Internet, but you should be able to hear the broadcast programme, which is due for transmission on Sunday 5th November 2006, from 20:00 to 21:00 GMT. Click on the following link, then 'Listen Live'. RealPlayer will be required. www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/If you miss it, the programme should be available for the following seven days via the 'Listen Again' facility. Best Wishes from London, Richard

Hello Richard and Nick and everyone!
I shall try to record this event and post all the highlights from it but as you said Richard, it will, I am sure, be available on the BBC website for 7 days afterwards.
I would be interested to know from our members outside the UK if this internet feed (which should not contain any commercially available recordings) is available to you, outside the UK, as not all of them seem to be these days.
Cheers, Dave
