Bartley Junior School pupils sing Lewis Capaldi hit in viral video

More than 350 seven to 11-year-olds at Bartley C of E Junior School were recorded during their assembly performing a beautiful rendition of Someone You Loved. 

It came after children were moved by the singer songwriter's performance at Glastonbury, where he experienced issues with his voice and experienced a number of tics following his Tourette's syndrome diagnosis.

The video was uploaded to the school's social media and has already been viewed 21,000 times on Facebook, receiving a rapturous response from parents, members of the community and fans near and far. 

Year 3 teacher Charlotte Morrison, who led the assembly, told the Daily Echo: "Some of the children were talking about what they did over the weekend and how much they enjoyed watching Glastonbury on TV.

"We normally sing hymns but we thought we'd sing something topical from Glastonbury during worship this week and the children said how inspiring they found Lewis Capaldi so we came up with the idea of videoing us singing his song to try to cheer him up.

"It was so lovely and we've been able to talk about his story and about Tourettes and neuro diversity and how everyone is different and being kind. 

"The children absolutely loved it. They went home at the end of the day still singing the song and are very keen for Lewis to hear their version! 

"It's 'been a very positive experience and we've had such a lovely response to it, especially from the parents."

Musician Capaldi announced he was ceasing live performances 'for the foreseeable future' to focus on bettering his mental and physical health following the difficult performance on the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm last weekend. 

Capaldi ended his Glastonbury set with a performance of the number one hit. Early in the song, however, his voice began to give way, and the crowd sang most of the ballad in his place in a show of support.
