Not only has the British government launched a £6 million drive to promote singing in primary schools, but the BBC has just announced that the 2008 Saturday night talent show to keep us all on the edge of our seats will see choirs large and small give it their all for a place in the final of the Radio 3 Choir of the Year competition: Choir Wars!

This entertainment extravaganza is set to be the largest talent show ever. In the world. Ever.

They're starting the search now for quirky choirs, classical choirs, gospel choirs, acapella groups, even barbershop singers to take part in the competition.

We'll be keeping an eye on the early developments as they unfold and looking for way to support the choirs taking part. Ideas from you are warmly welcomed?
