Britain's Got Talent winners The Hawkstone Farmers Choir are coming to Nottingham
A choir founded by Jeremy Clarkson that went on to win Britain’s Got Talent is now going on a UK tour.
And the Hawkstone Farmers Choir will be coming to Nottingham’ Royal Concert Hall next March.
Originally established by Jeremy Clarkson, Hawkstone was created to celebrate farming communities and shine a light on issues including isolation and mental health in rural areas of Britain.
The group’s journey began as an advertising campaign for Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone beer and cider brand, but quickly developed into something much bigger, with members sharing how being part of the choir has helped them combat the isolation often associated with agricultural work. The group made history when it won Britain’s Got Talent this year, becoming the first choir to do so and stunning the judges in the process.
KSI called them ‘one of the best choir acts I have ever heard in my life’ while Simon Cowell also praised the choir for what they ‘stand for’, describing their final performance of This Is Home as ‘absolutely stunning’, ‘heartfelt’ and ‘joyous’.
Now, the group are taking their story to the next stage by releasing their debut album, This Is Home, on November 6 before heading out on a UK tour.
The choir is a remarkable story of what happens when a group of people who spend their lives working largely in isolation suddenly find a community – and then find themselves catapulted into the national spotlight. Rooted in themes of belonging, resilience and rural life, ‘This Is Home’ builds on the choir’s remarkable BGT journey, while continuing their advocacy for mental health within farming communities.
They come to Nottingham on March 20 next year.
