With choirs competing in 28 different categories there is something for everyone on every day. Some choirs sing a programme of four varied songs; others enter specialist categories, like pop, jazz, gospel, contemporary and sacred music, as well as the fabulous folk and indigenous sections, where choirs often sing and dance in traditional dress. Every session is competitive but friendly, and thoroughly engrossing – a feast for the ears and eyes!
