2005

We were challenged to attempt to beat the then World Record of 83,637 young voices singing simultaneously. This attempt was to become known as the BIG SING.

Joss Stone and Lemar headed the all star lineup that kicked off the BIG SING attempt from the Royal Albert Hall at 2:45PM on December 8th 2005. They were joined on-stage by Miss Dynamite, Keith Semple, the African Children’s Choir, 1,200 children drawn from local schools and, linked by local radio wherever possible, 1,616 schools from across the U.K.

Such a fantastic response resulted in us claiming a new World Recorld of 293,978 young voices which was officially ratified by Guinness World Records in April 2006.

On the 27th November 2008 at 2:45pm, live from the O2 Arena in London, the "BIGSING" returns to every school throughout the UK. With your support we aim to break our existing 2005 Guinness World Record of 293,978 children all singing with the stars simultaneously, by reaching the ONE MILLION CHILDREN mark.

In the process of breaking this fantastic Guinness World Record we aim to benefit three very important charities, Youth Music, Marie Curie Cancer Care and CLIC Sargent.
