Choir of the Year Category Finals 1

Aled Jones introduces highlights from the 2010 Category Finals of the amateur choral competition Choir of the Year. With results from the Children's category and the Open category.

Aled Jones introduces highlights from the Category Finals of the UK's biggest amateur choral competition Choir of the Year, which took place at Birmingham Symphony Hall earlier this month.

Whittled down from over one hundred and fifty entrants, just sixteen choirs made it through to the Category Finals. The stakes were high, with choirs competing to win both their category and a place in the Grand Final at the Royal Festival Hall later on this month. Today we'll discover which choirs won the Children's Category and the Open Category.
