Initially set up by Jeremy Clarkson, the choir's renditions of Elbow's One Day Like This, Bastille's Pompei and a grand finale which saw them sing an original song, the 34-strong ensemble stormed each stage of the competition and no doubt had the whole of the farming industry behind them.Ìý

Ruby Gwilliam, head of communications for the choir, said: "The Hawkstone Farmers' Choir is honoured to be invited to perform at The British Farming Awards. This is one of the most prestigious occasions in the farming calendar and we all look forward to entertaining our peers in the industry. It promises to be a fun filled evening and one where we might be allowed to wear our party frocks instead of farming gear."
