Young Voices Concert Tour 2013

Connie Talbot will be performing in the UK as a celebrity guest star in the Young Voices concert tour 2013 later this month. The dates are listed below.

This is the second year in a row that Connie has featured as a guest in this series.

Connie has just returned from her amazing 3 week tour of south east Asia, promoting her new album Beautiful World, so she will have a couple of weeks rest before she starts into this UK tour.

Young Voices, now in its 16th year, provides a unique opportunity for thousands of children to participate in a large arena concert.
You can find more details about the Young Voices initiative here http://www.youngvoices.co.uk/
Being present at a Young Voices concert is an unforgettable experience - and it's loud! (If you don't believe us, scroll down now to watch the video below.)

Most of the tickets are sold to parents and friends of the children in the choirs, but usually there are a few tickets left over for sale to the public. Check with the individual venues for availability.

Young Voices make their own professionally produced DVDs of the events for sale, so naturally they discourage people from recording the concerts. This means that a lot of the videos of YV on YouTube are rather shaky and distant, using hand-held phones etc.

However, last year a member of Connie's team, Daniel Smart, was allowed to film one of Connie's performances using a tripod-held HD camera at the LG Arena, Birmingham, England. Connie Talbot sings "Run" by Snow Patrol, a song that means a lot to her, and which she performed with the backing of thousands of young singers.

Connie sings for Young Voices (Playlist)

There are some new playlists on Connie's YouTube channel, ConnieTalbotOfficial. Here's the first one: Young Voices Concert Series 2011/12



The Young Voices Series in the UK is coming up again fairly soon (early December). Connie is already scheduled to star in it once again, so I just thought you might like to get some sense of the incredible atmosphere of those concerts, which play every year to full houses in some of the biggest arena venues in the UK. In this playlist you can see a few of Connie's great performances from the previous series.

Being at a Young Voices concert is an unforgettable experience for everyone - children, parents, performers, and everyone who attends. Connie described Young Voices 2011/12 as the best thing she has ever done. Considering this is from someone who reached the final of Britain's Got Talent, and also sang for an audience of 400 million people in China - that gives you some impression of how amazing it feels to be part of it.

Sunshine in Wales

After a very hardworking school year, Connie and her family are taking a well-earned break, on a little holiday in Wales. They spent most of today on the beach! Here's Connie, thinking about taking a dip in the ocean.

This summer, the UK has had chilly temperatures and record rainfalls. Wales is a beautiful country, with lovely people. And usually it's wetter than the Amazon rain forest.

But as soon as the Talbot family arrived there, the sun came out, and the temperature rocketed to the high nineties! How did they do that?

Must be some kind of magic! :-)
