Anyone who was lucky enough  to hear them sing at the  Examiner’s glitzy Community  Awards’ night earlier in the summer  will tell you how good they are.

So good in fact that the team behind the  young people’s choir, ReJoySing correct has decided  that it is time that instead of appearing in  other people’s concerts, they had one of  their own.

And that is exactly what these fine young  singers will be doing next month when they  headline  an  evening called simply, ReJoySing  and Friends. They have lots of those.

Alongside the singers will be  K T Dancers  from Lindley, , 18-year-old musician, actor  and singer Chris Fox, members of the Really  Useless Group (and they are certainly not!)  plus favourites Gina Cook and Marina Haigh  and a few surprises. More of those later.

ReJoySing began in 2008 as a way of giving  school-age singers a chance to get involved  in a choir.

They rehearse every week at Moldgreen  United Reformed Church which is where  they will hold this first headlining concert on  September 14 (7.30pm).

The choir recruits singers aged from eight to  18 and the current group is taking on all  kinds of music from  Panis Angelicus to songs  by The Beatles.

The group is run by members of the charity  Caritas which was set up some years ago by  a group of well-known local musicians and  singers which includes  Gordon Balmforth,  correctPat Graham, Alan Bradford and Elaine  Cockram.

“The choir has sung in  residential homes for  the elderly, care homes and at charity  fundraisers and public concerts,” said  Gordon.

“They have supported lots of other people at  their concerts but never hosted one of their  own. We wanted them to have that  experience.

“We are really proud of them and say to  them that they don’t realise just how good  they are.”

That night at the Examiner Community  Awards where they sang for over 300 people  at the  John Smith’s Stadium proved it.  The  choir was nominated in the Arts category  perform at the awards

“The girls thought it was like the Oscars,”  said Pat Graham.

“They were trembling in their boots a bit  before they got up to sing but they really  enjoyed it,” said Gordon who is the choir’s  musical director.

“The girls did really well and were  overwhelmed by the reaction that they got. It  was great night for them,” said Pat.

The choir is currently working hard on  material for the concert in September.

“They  are a very tight group and work for  each other,” said Gordon. “They listen to  each other and in rehearsal I don’t have to  tell them if anything has gone astray. They  know immediately and can tell me where the  mistake was.”

The Moldgreen concert  features other young  performers including dancer   Katy Bradbury,  20,  of Lindley  who earlier this year set up her  own dance school.

Katy started her business thanks to a Kirklees  Enterprise For youth Award and in addition  to Saturday dance classes is working with  nurseries to get very young children into  movement and dance.

Some of her tiny tots, aged between two and  four, are likely to appear as are a group of  seven and eight-year-olds that Katy teaches.

She’s not stopped there though as her mum,  Karen and younger sister, Olivia, 18 are  doing their bit in a Dawn French andDarcey  Bussell  routine called The Mirror.

If that doesn’t bring the house down there’s  no justice.

Expect lashings more comedy from Graeme  Hoyle, Ken Burnett and Heather Boothroyd  in a Sand Dance plus Gina Cook and Marina  Haigh in a favourite piece, The Chocolate  Soldier.

The competition for show-stopping comedy  is certainly hot with six members of  the  Really Useless team pitching in with The  Optical Illusion Dance. There’s a version on  YouTube if you can’t wait.
