Children in Need Choir

Since 2011 one of the recurring acts on the BBC telethon Children in Need has been a choir where usually over 1000 children come together in the studio and in around 8-10 locations across the UK and sing one song live in unison from the various locations. These choirs are created by the BBC local news regions using local schools and theatre groups and they usually sing from where the regional outside broadcast takes place. The performance usually starts in the studio and cuts between to the different locations throughout the performance before ending in the studio (2022 and 2023 do not start in the studio) with a short 20-30 second instrumental break to show a montage of clips the night's appeal films. However, since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic the choir there have been fewer singers and the choirs across the UK have been pre-recorded with only the studio choir singing live.

## Earlier Link-Ups

[edit]

The idea for nationwide link ups on Children in Need has been around since the early 1990s and started in the form of a jazz band performing from the regional events. However in 1996 the link-ups started to move towards the current format when 500 children in 13 locations led by Gary Wilmot and a further 100 children in the studio performed the 1989 Children in Need Single - If You Want To Help. This eventually grew to become the Children in Need choir that has been shown since 2011.
