FORGET High School Musical, and Britannia High - or even those Kids from Fame. Glasgow's Voice Factory is where the city's brightest and best musical talents of the future lie - and they are coming to a stage near you very soon The Voice Factory is a primary school choir featuring young singers from all over the city - and it will be performing at the City Halls on December 15 and 16 as part of the joint schools' Christmas concerts, of which the Evening Times is media partner.

Mark Evans, choirmaster, explains: "The Voice Factory is not just another school choir - it raises the bar. It's something extra special.

"The children who get involved get so much out of it - we have lots of gifted kids, of course, but many more who do it for the sheer enjoyment of taking part.

"Just look at the turn-out on a wet Saturday morning, and you get some idea of the enthusiasm there is for the choir."

Lea Desjacques, Eloise Reinhardt, Brodie Smith, Hannah Gibson, Kerry O'Neil, Sophie Horne and Sinnead McGrory are fine examples of the enthusiastic talent on display.

"We are Mark's Primary Six group - he's the best," they chorus, during a quick break from rehearsals, before collapsing into fits of giggles.

Mount Vernon Primary pupil Eloise, 10, adds: "The Primary Six group is the smallest of all the choir groups - but we're the best!"

Brodie, 10, who is a pupil at Kelvindale Primary in the West End, adds: "We can't wait for the Christmas concerts - it's amazing to perform in front of all those people."

Sinnead, 10, who attends Notre Dame Primary in the West End, agrees: "It's a lot of fun, and even if you are a bit nervous to start with, that soon goes away."

Nine-year-old Hannah, who is at Merrylee Primary, on the South Side, says being part of the Voice Factory is not just about the singing.

"You get to meet lots of people from other schools, and make new friends," she says.

Sophie, nine, who goes to Craigton Primary on the South Side, agrees. "We all have a good time together. Even if you get a bit embarrassed at first, being up on stage, it's OK, because everyone's doing it together and having fun."

So are the leading ladies of Mark's primary six group destined for showbiz fame and fortune?

"Maybe," considers Sinnead.

"Yes! I want to be a singer!" announces Kerry, 10, who is also at Notre Dame primary.

"I want to be an architect," says Eloise.

"I'd like to be an actress and do all the big musicals, like Annie and Oliver!," grins Lea, 10, who goes to Cardonald Primary. "So, yeah, it's definitely the West End for me. No, it's BROADWAY for me."

The Voice Factory will join three string ensembles, a concert band, a full symphony orchestra, a pipe band and a big band, all made up of talented young people from every corner of the city, on stage in December.

Tickets are now on sale - but you'll have to be fast. Last year's concerts were sell-out successes, with around 2000 people attending, and this year, demand for tickets is expected to be equally high.

Scottish tenor Jamie McDougall, who is one third of Caledon, and also presents BBC Radio Scotland's classical music programme Grace Notes, will be the compere on both nights.
