Tears flowed across the panel and among the audience \u2014 and in a moment that sealed their fate, Amanda, 55, reached for the coveted Golden Buzzer, sending the choir straight through to the live semi-finals.<\/p>\n

The group of 32 farmers and agricultural workers from around the country were initially brought together by Jeremy Clarkson and have been performing together since 2024.<\/p>\n

The music collective – who range in age from 27 to 74 – performed a harmonious rendition of the uplifiting anthem ‘One Day Like This’ by Elbow.<\/p>\n

Amanda Holden said: ‘As you started, I completely welled up. I felt so much power. I love the whole community. I love how you’ve all got together and work your a**es off.<\/p>\n

The Hawkstone Farmer’s Choir, made up of rural workers more used to early mornings than standing ovations, delivered a heartfelt performance that left the judges visibly moved<\/p>\n

‘You work so hard every single day. You absolutely smashed it and I can’t wait to see what you do in the semi-finals. Congratulations.’<\/p>\n

Guest judge Stacey Solomon added: ‘I don’t think anyone will understand the power of a choir unless they’ve been in a choir.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It’s such an incredible space to release and just letting it go. I’m so grateful that I got to experience that in real life, so thank you and congrats.’<\/p>\n

Fellow judge Alesha Dixon said: ‘Music is so powerful, it’s like therapy. And you could really feel that. It sounded beautiful.’<\/p>\n

KSI, said added: ‘Wow! Talk about multi-talented. Farming and then singing. Honestly, it felt like you belonged there. Congratulations and we’ll see you soon.’<\/p>\n

The Hawkstone Farmers Choir will advance to the live semi-finals as they compete for the \u00a3250,000 prize and a coveted place at this year’s Royal Variety Performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeremy, 65, took to his Instagram page with an emotional clip saying how proud he was of the choir and wrote: ‘So happy for @thehawkstonefarmerschoir.’<\/p>\n

He told the Daily Mail: ‘I wasn’t surprised to see Amanda moved to tears by the choir’s performance at their audition, because I’ve known for a while now that you can plough soil and shovel dung all day and still have a sweet, sweet voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘To see the choir go from a half-formed idea to a musical phenomenon performing on national TV fills me with more pride than I can say and I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for them in the semi-finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I reckon you’ll hear cheers of support from every other farm in the land too.’<\/p>\n

Before their performance, choir member Katryna Shell told the judges and the crowd at Birmingham’s Hippodrome: ‘Jeremy Clarkson did a thing\u2026 Jeremy brought us together to sing, and it’s just really been amazing for us all.’<\/p>\n

Katryna continued: ‘Every single one of us is in agriculture in some way or another. This isn’t our day jobs; we’re usually out in the fields.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Clarkson exclusively told Daily Mail:\u00a0‘I wasn’t surprised to see Amanda moved to tears by the choir’s performance at their audition, because I’ve known for a while now that you can plough soil and shovel dung all day and still have a sweet, sweet voice’<\/p>\n

\"Jeremy <\/p>\n

Jeremy also\u00a0took to his Instagram saying how proud he was of the choir after their performance and captioned: ‘So happy for @thehawkstonefarmerschoir’<\/p>\n

‘We work by ourselves day in and day out, sometime 16, 17 hours a day. This has brought us together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We’re not singers by nature. It’s brought us as a family \u2013 we have one thing that unites us and that is farming. We love what we do but it can be incredibly hard: really lonely, very isolating. To do this all together, it’s meant the world to us.’<\/p>\n

Later on after their astonishing performance, Northumberland-born Kathryna added: ‘The choir has turned into something so much more than singing… We have come together as a community, something I didn’t even anticipate.<\/p>\n

‘The choir is filled with all sorts of people with varying ages, singing experience, parts of the country but we all have farming linking us together – it’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.’<\/p>\n
