Festival plays host to Soweto choir

Part of the City of London festival, this 26-strong choir formed in 2002 and has enjoyed major overseas success.

They have been to these shores previously, appearing at last year's Edinburgh Festival where they were among the top-selling acts.

The group is made up of talented vocalists from across the churches of Soweto and despite being a relatively new collective they have already won a Grammy award in the US.

The most famous hymn within their repertoire is Amazing Grace, which was written by John Newton who died 200 years ago in 1807.
