    Hi Paul

    As our charismatic leader and good with techy stuff I think you should lead the way. If do the first, I and others will certainly follow! It doesn't matter how good or bad you sing - if we merge lots together it will sound just like a crowd singing and no one will be identifiable.as an individual

    Not sure if this has already been posted but this is a virtual choir project that Barnsley Youth Choir did in collaboration with Tuks Camerata from the University of Pretoria last month. If you haven't seen it already it's well worth a watch.

    Barnsley Youth Choir are one of the most respected choirs in the world and a lot of Barnsley folk don't know anything about them.

    Very good !
    It doesn’t surprise me tbh we have some very talented people in our Town and very good singing voices.
    Houghton Main Colliery Male Voice Choir were very good back in the day (don’t know if they still going ) and were up there with Grimethorpe Colliery Band in the Choir equivalent and could compete with the very best including Wales .

    Yes... For a small town I think Barnsley definitely punches above its weight

    If the Youth Choir can create a virtual choir, then we should be able to do one for BFC. I have created a Karioke tape video to help people contribute should they wish. If I upload it as a separate thread will you make it a sticky so that it does not disappear after a day or so.

    If we can get this done, and we are still not allowed to go to the ground at the start of the season, then we may be able to get the club to play it to show our support for the team.

    It is my hope that all the prominent people on here will take part. I will make it optional for any contributors to put a bulletin name to any videos that they contribute. It would be nice to put names to faces

    Had a very good response from the Club about the video. Which is brilliant on their part!

    Tee here. It does come in useful. It's called poetic licence:)

    I will sort it out tonight.

    Jake has been asked to go sing the song in the centre circle in the pitch at Oakwell. He is well pleased.
