Norfolk school children take to the Christmas charts
They're looking to beat Mariah Carey to Christmas number one
Hundreds of school children across Norfolk are releasing a Christmas song today!
300 pupils from 16 schools in the county are looking to knock Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber off their perch with 'Sing A Little Joy', written by Springwood High School's Lauren Knight and director of music Peter Strudwick.
Mr Strudwick says: "We are releasing it commercially so we can also raise funds for NHS charities. Springwood is just a short distance from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and many of our pupils have parents who work at the hospital.
"We are really hoping that the song could go viral on social media and make the charts. We hope Norfolk rallies behind this song and promotes it on social media using the hashtag #singalittlejoy."
He added: "Many schools have struggled to keep music going over the last few months but for many students, music is at the very heart of what makes them tick and not being able to play in bands and orchestras and sing in choirs has been very hard."
