A carol written by a group of Year 6 children from Consett Junior School has been set to music by the well known composer and arranger Sandy Smith.

Delighted

The children were delighted that Sandy took an interest in their project and even more so when he produced band parts for the school band to accompany the singing.

'Sing with Joy' had its world premiere at a recent concert at Consett Methodist Church and more performances are scheduled over the next few days and in the lead up to Christmas.

This has been a fantastic project and we are so grateful to Sandy. Everyone is singing it!Deputy Headteacher, Rebecca Waters

Fantastic project

Deputy Headteacher, Rebecca Waters told 4BR: "This has been a fantastic project and we are so grateful to Sandy. Everyone is singing it!"

In response Sandy added: "This was something that I had to get involved with, as it was so brilliantly done by the children. This represents all that is good about enjoying music making and about Christmas!"
