We're delighted to see that the North West Evening News enjoyed our Furness Voices performance on 22 May. Here's a snippet of what they had to say:

Children from across the area came together to deliver a showstopping spectacle to proud mums and dads in an annual musical event. For the past three years, schools in and around Barrow have joined forces for a unique performance that showcases the wonderful talent that hides in our schools. Emma Richardson, area development manager for Cumbria Music Education Hub, has been working with the children to produce the show. Speaking before last night's show, she said: "They're sound really good. They have all worked really hard and they're excited to be in a different venue. "They're all really, really enthusiastic and their faces just beam when they're on that stage." Furness Voices runs over a period of three days and has welcomed 18 schools from across the area t o perform in three different productions. Loosely based on the national Young Voices project, the scheme was dreamed up by Paul Fussell, headteacher of Holy Family Catholic Primary School, who wanted to give the children a chance to perform to a wider audience. He said: "This just gives the kids a chance to showcase their talent in a big venue and a wider audience and the chance to perform with other schools on a group project is fantastic."
