Young choristers from Rishton have taken part in an annual music festival.

Youngsters from St Charles RC primary school helped sing ‘We are the Young’ and ‘The Tiger’ at the Blackburn Music Festival and were complimented for their excellent diction and singing.

The Rishton school was one of five schools taking part in the Primary Choir competition and came fourth, with St Mary’s in Mellor winning overall.

The choir was conducted by Gabriella Passerini.

Vivien Baker, headteacher at Rishton St Charles, said they received a ‘commended’ mark and ‘many lovely accolades’.
