She says ...

"I’ve bitten the bullet and as a result I’m part of a seven-and-a-half hour concert going out on Easter Monday, April 13, details below. I chose to sing seven chorus songs that you can join in on, songs for age groups roughly from 3 years to however old you are. You can download the lyrics and sing along if you want. I will be on at 7.45pm (British Summer Time - GMT+1) but I urge you to watch as much of the day’s programme as you can as there are wonderful artists participating throughout the festival."
