The Hear Our Voice choir is a remarkable vocal ensemble made up of 39 individuals who were directly affected by the devastating Horizon Post Office scandal. This national scandal saw hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters wrongly accused and convicted of theft, fraud, and false accounting due to an IT error within the Post Office’s accounting software. In the face of this profound injustice, the choir was formed not only to raise awareness but also to offer its members a space for healing and solidarity through music.
Despite never meeting in person before their Britain’s Got Talent audition, the choir stunned judges and viewers alike with their emotional and powerful performance. Until that moment, all rehearsals had taken place online via Zoom, as members are spread across the country. The very first time the full choir came together in person was for that live audition – an unforgettable performance that brought audiences to tears and earned unanimous praise from the judging panel. Simon Cowell himself described their mistreatment as “disgusting,” and their heartfelt delivery captured the nation’s attention.
Under the guidance of choir leader Mark Wildblood, Hear Our Voice was created with three clear aims: to keep the Horizon scandal in the public eye, to shine a light on the vital work of the Horizon Scandal Fund and Lost Chances charity, and to provide a positive and therapeutic outlet for its members. Among them is Sharon Brown, a former sub-postmaster from Pennywell, who, like many others, was falsely accused and unjustly treated. Through song, the group transforms their pain into purpose, and their unity serves as a powerful symbol of resilience and hope.
Their Britain’s Got Talent journey saw them reach the final and finish in a proud 7th place, having captured the public’s imagination and won the audience vote along the way. Hear Our Voice has proven that even in the darkest times, extraordinary things can be achieved through courage, collaboration, and the power of music. Whether you are looking to inspire, reflect, or move an audience, their performance leaves a lasting impression. Hire via Champions Music & Entertainment today!
