"John and I were so impressed by what we heard from your Choir at St Stephen's that we would be delighted if you felt able to come to Chelvey in the Summer."

Mrs Mary Prior MBE, Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant for Bristol

"Well, what a weekend!  I am still fielding responses from Sunday.  What WorldRoots brought and created at Saint Stephens was deeply effective.  You drew together so many good things.  The whole experience was even more than I hoped for.  Thank you for being prepared to take it on: so many people will have spoken to you I know, but I have also heard from many others - let me just pass one on: 'WorldRoots were quite superb and just the thought of the first piece they sang makes me choke again'."

Canon Tim Higgins, City Canon Bristol Cathedral

"I have a long association with Gathering Voices - as a parent, musical collaborator and educationalist. Time and again I have been impressed by the work they do with kids from a wide range of backgrounds. It makes a real difference, not only to how young people feel about themselves, but to life chances too. Such projects are exactly the kind of thing we should be doing more of in Bristol and cities like it."t

David James, Professor of Education, University of the West of England, Bristol

“The WorldRoots walkabout act was stunning – like nothing I have ever experienced – 360 degrees of beautiful, haunting and uplifting pitch-perfect music by amazingly talented youngsters. WorldRoots are one of the most professional and pleasurable acts to work with that I have ever come across – I won't hesitate to book them again!!!”  

Lark Porter, Events Coordinator, Bristol Zoo Gardens & Co-stage manager of Sensation Seekers, Glastonbury Festival of the Performing Arts.

"I found the performance on the Friday hugely moving in its directness and appropriateness - especially of course the group's stunning rendering of Senzenina - the Zimbabweans in the group were astonished and thrilled by that. Everyone without exception was really amazed at the standard of the choir, and the vibrant energy of the group. I thought the talent and confidence shown by such young singers immensely impressive and very touching."

Caroline Beatty & Naomi Roberts, Bristol Refugee Rights

"Despite the looming threat of rain and thunder this remarkable group of young singers took the assembled crowd on a rollercoaster ride of songs from around the world, all delivered with beautiful harmonies and real gusto! Their confidence, infectious enthusiasm and passionate singing even made the sun appear, making a good day absolutely perfect."

Review from the Corsham Music Festival

"Well you all did it again! The choir were just fantastic and everyone really enjoyed seeing and hearing them. They really are a remarkable bunch aren't they? You were the brightest spot of a very lovely day. Many, many thanks and we would really like to have you back for a third time!"

Katie, Hawkwood College, Stroud

"Many thanks for coming to sing at Bristol Children's Hospital  last week.  Although relatively few of the children were able to come to the courtyard to see you, I promise you that you were heard and much appreciated by everyone on the wards. Please come again."

Bristol Royal Hospital for Children

"WorldRoots, you are fantastic! Thank you so much for getting up on stage and doing what you do so well. Loved it!"

Lark Porter, Events Coordinator, Bristol Zoo Gardens

"Many thanks to you all for leading all those strong voices ringing out on Friday evening. WorldRoots certainly added enormous entertainment to what was a successful and memorable evening for all of us at Aardmans. I hope we have the opportunity to work with you again."

Mary Lowance, Head of Feature Operations, Aardman Features

"Absolutely wonderful! So joyous, spirited and very uplifting."
