James Morrison has expressed his excitement about reuniting with the Britain’s Got Talent finalists, Northants Sings Out, for a special hometown performance. The musician, known for his hit song “You Give Me Something,” has promised to “return the favour” by performing with the choir once again at their annual Christmas Party.
The event is scheduled to take place on 29 November at the Royal & Derngate in the town. This will be the second time Morrison and the choir have shared the stage, following their collaboration during his London Palladium gig in September.
Morrison has described the upcoming show as an opportunity to “jump up” for a few songs with the group. He expressed his anticipation for the evening, calling it “a great night.”
This year’s Christmas Party marks the 11th annual end-of-year gathering for the 200-strong community choir. Comprised of non-professional singers aged between 25 and 75, the group has grown significantly since its inception.
In September, Northants Sings Out embarked on their first national headline tour titled “Club Classics,” which will conclude in Manchester on 19 December. The tour has been a major milestone for the choir, showcasing their talent across the country.
Gareth Fuller, the choir’s leader, reflected on the experience of working with Morrison. He described it as an “unforgettable experience” for the singers. “His warmth, musicianship, and generosity made it a truly special collaboration,” he said.
Fuller added that the chance to reunite with Morrison at their home venue is both exciting and symbolic. “It’s not only exciting for the choir, but a real celebration of how far this community group has come. It’s coming home,” he said.
Morrison also spoke about the significance of performing with the choir at the London Palladium. He called it “a very special moment.” Now, he is looking forward to reciprocating the gesture by joining them on stage at their own headline show.
“I’m really looking forward to it. It’s gonna be a great night,” he said.
Northants Sings Out has continued to make waves since their appearance on Britain’s Got Talent. Their journey has been marked by pride, joy, and a deep sense of accomplishment.
The choir has also gained attention from high-profile figures, including Madonna, who shared a video featuring the group with her 19.8 million followers.
