We are planning a live concert at the 02 Arena called Voice In A Million. to raise the awareness of the need for more resources, funding and families in the UK. Working with the BAAF British Association of Adoption and Fostering –

In todays world of celebrity we are all too aware of the problems faced by children in a foreign land but many of us are unaware of the problems in the UK -

We would be absolutely delighted if amateur groups would be involved. Time is short but we CAN DO IT!

We have already had a massive response but would really like more groups and organisations to be involved

Please find to follow some further information about how to get involved and confirm your place
We have confirmed the songs to be included and these are listed on the website http://www.voiceinamillion.com/" href="http://www.voiceinamillion.com/">www.voiceinamillion.com under tracks – All of the songs are well known numbers. The lyrics to all numbers have been uploaded to the site and clearly highlight the sections that the choirs will need to sing.

In addition on July 24th all tracks will available to download so you can rehearse to your hearts content
We will be featuring soloists in the event however, these participants will be required to be auditioned at Shepperton Studios in August (6th, 7th, 13th & 14th) and rehearsed prior to the event at the studios too. Soloist will need to perform one of the listed songs.

All participants need to purchase a Voice In A Million T Shirt at a cost of £10.00 each.

Footage from the event will be used during national adoption week on ITV “This Morning” when an album of the event will be released for public sale.

On the day, 23rd September 2009, you will need to arrive at the O2 with the participants at 2pm, rehearsals start at 4pm, Show will start at 7.30pm. There is a 30 minute interval and so the event is scheduled to end at 10pm.
