The Last Choir Singing is a county-wide choir competition for junior school children in Lancashire. It is the brainchild of George Critchley, Chair of True Bearing Chartered Financial Planners, based in Euxton, who wanted to give something back to the people of Lancashire who had helped his company become successful. The competition is a great opportunity for children to perform and express themselves musically. Musical education is very important to us and we see how important it is to the children and the teachers. I was brought in to launch, manage and grow the competition and bring George's idea into reality. 2014 - 2015 was our first year and was a huge success. We had 6 regional heats and a sell-out County Final at King George's Hall in Blackburn. We are delighted that this has become an annual event and we will continue to develop the competition to allow more and more children to enter each year.
