This is a little tribute to any Youth Leader, who having been asked to contribute to some Church event, has found themselves on stage with a number of semi-unwilling members of their youth group, feeling like they’re doing a solo, and yet somehow managed to pull it together in the end.
As a background to this clip, this was filmed at our village concert, and the Youth Group decided to sing a song which they had done as part of a Christmas production they had put on in aid of the Congo appeal a few days before. Prior to this they’ve been having real problems with the backing track, and as our clip commences, the backstage guys have just about got it sorted.

All credit to Cathy, the youth leader here for keeping it going as it all starts to go horribly wrong…
Sounds like the ‘children’ singing Away in a Manger’ at our Carol Service. No-one singing apart from the adults attempting to encourage them!
