Further performances will be on Wednesday, Thursday, January 30 and January 31.

The nationwide tour, which also features venues in Sheffield, London and Manchester, will see a total of 120,000 kids take to the stage alongside artists like Jazz sensation Natalie Williams and The Beatbox Collective.

Young Voices was developed to help unite children and boost their confidence.

Over the years, Young Voices choirs have performed with stars such as Alexandra Burke, Joss Stone and Gary Barlow.

It has raised more than £1 million for children's charities.

Ben Lewis, managing director of Young Voices said: "Every pupil should be exposed to music at an early age, whether the joy is singing, playing an instrument or loving the sound of music, the potential benefits are huge."
