Hi Shauna,

Thanks for the video, it is fantastic.

I have e-mailed the F.A to try and find out who the other girl was.

Hello folks!

From the Evening Star...

Laura hits right note at Wembley

Laura Wright

SUFFOLK singing sensation Laura Wright has joined the likes of opera stars Katherine Jenkins and Russell Watson in singing the national anthem at a premier sporting event.

The Framlingham College student, who is one quarter of Brit-nominated classical girl group All Angels, sang the national anthem before England's friendly football match against the USA at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday night.

The 17-year-old described the experience as an honour and said it was welcome relief from her revision for her forthcoming A-Level exams.

She said: “It was awesome. We got there mid-afternoon and had a sound check and there's something about that situation with the whole England team there where you feel proud to be singing and proud to be a part of it.

“They're not there listening to your vocal harmony or if you're in tune, it's more about the atmosphere and what it's all about which takes the pressure off us.

“All the crowd was singing along it was an amazing feeling. David Beckham was very close by so we were quite lucky."

Hi Vince,

Thanks for the excellent photograph.

Any more news on the mystery Angel? I must admit Drew's suggestion looks a real possibility.

Sorry Martin, I never heard any more.

Very interesting! I wonder why Charlotte wasn't there.....

By the way, who won? (besides All Angels)

[dazza]

Hi Martin,

Drew could well be right as she does look a lot like Carly, though to me she looks a little old to be her. From that photo she looks a lot like Faye Tozer who used to be in Steps.

Northern_Lights.. England won 2 - 0.

Congrats England!

curiouser and curiouser!

I did watch some of the replay...just missed seeing the goal by Gerrard. Didn't see today's friendly v. Trinidad & Tobago...but I know the result :applaud:

Well done of course to All Angels! What a remarkable achievement for them.

That was a nice article Richard. Good luck to Laura when she sits her A-level exams. If it is maths, I reckon she could calculate the number of fans at Wembley!

Cheers,
Joe

Hi Everyone,

I have recieved an e-mail from the F.A informing me that the girl who sung the national anthem with All Angels before the England game last week is Gwawr Edwards.

Now who is she you may ask? Well, not knowing myself either I tried Google which reliably informs me that she is a Welsh soprano. She is a former Welsh National Eisteddfod winner and enjoyed huge success winning three titles before going on to win the Blue Ribband in the Lieder Competition, the overall winner of all sections and champion of champions. Wow!!

She recenlty performed at the Cadogan Hall in London.

What a good choice.
