Get involved in 123sing!

Posted: 11 June 2010

1, 2 and 3 of October 2010 are set to be the biggest celebration of singing ever

1, 2 and 3 of October 2010 are going to be days to remember – and are days to put in your diary. Classic FM and Making Music are collaborating with Youth Music and just about every other singing organisation in the land, to present what will be the largest celebration of singing ever to happen in the UK. And we want all of you to take part, whether you are a music organisation, a singing group, a singer, or someone who hasn’t sung since school. 

The aim is to capitalise on the current excitement and momentum for singing in the UK to create a massive 3-day singing festival, which will attract national publicity, join the nation in song, and raise large sums for charity. 

The hope is that every school, every street, every pub, every concert venue, every religious venue, every home, will hear the sound of singing at some point over the long weekend. And it will only work if you help us make it happen. You can:

• Learn the special 123sing! song, which will be available in multiple forms from the 123sing! website
• Work with your local school to put on special 123sing! activities
• Organise a short concert at your local hospital, care home or shopping centre
• Visit the 123sing! website and find out what is happening in your local area and join in
• Organise a sing-a-long at your local pub or social club
• Organise an informal singing or sing-a-long session with your friends and family at home
• Organise a 123sing! concert or other activity, such as an introduction to singing workshop or brand an existing concert with 123sing! which is close to 1, 2 or 3 October

We are sure you will have many more ideas too. The 123sing! website will be packed with different ideas and suggestions showing how organisations, groups of all kinds as well as individuals will be able to take part. The website will be available towards the end of June and will allow those organising events to request a resource pack.

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone will be able to take part in the 123sing! celebration. What you have to do now is as easy as 123:

1. Start thinking about how you and/or your organisation can take part
2. Develop your plan, post it on the website from the end of June, download or request a resource pack
3. Do it on 1, 2 or 3 of October!
