‘A wonderful moment’ - Hebburn choir’s Christmas song featured on BBC Introducing
A Hebburn choir’s festive song has featured on the BBC.
Raise Your Voice Hebburn Choir’s festive song, ‘Maybe a Christmas Idea’, has been played as part of BBC Introducing North East.
Recognition on BBC Introducing marks a significant milestone for the choir, who aim to share music that resonates locally and beyond.
Raise Your Voice Hebburn Choir members were performing their Chistmas concert at Jarrow Focus when the song was aired on BBC Newcastle, with members only finding out after coming off stage.
Speaking about the radio play, Becky said: “This is a wonderful moment for our singers.
“They are incredibly proud of the song, and to see the excitement build as we keep being recognised is amazing.
“We've received amazing support from local community radio, being featured on the Christmas playlists of Affinity Radio, Radio Tyneside and Radio Christmas, and have even had the opportunity to sing the song live on BBC Radio Newcastle.
“To now have the song recognised by the BBC's platform for spotting upcoming talent is beyond anything we ever expected.”
Becky has also revealed that while the choir has grown rapidly over the course of the last eight months, it will be looking for new members to join in the new year.
