Who is singing..

[masma]

as the torch is going round the stadium?

[Ann]

I asked that - didn't recognise him nor what he was singing. Also didn't think much to the Scottish singer (never heard of her) who sang Abide with Me hymn, she was too breathless and not very good, why didn't they ask Katherine Jenkins, she said yesterday how disappointed she was at not being asked to sing.

She is Emily Sande and she has a wonderful voice, probably not shown to its best with the chosen hymn

(Sorry, I don't like Katherine Jenkins)

[Ann]

Thanks Lottie, I really liked that track, it didn't sound like the same person ...........

I would like to know this too - not Emile Sande who sang Abide with me early on but the guy and girls (he had reddish hair, at first I thought it was him from 2 door cinema club).

Anyone know the answer to this as Mrs D's birthday fast approaches and she absolutely loved this song?

I didn't watch the ceremony but I do know a singer called Frank Turner sang during it. Could it have been him?

No, Frank Turner sang while the green and pleasant land scene was on, nowhere near the end. The one who sang while the torch was going round was a young unrecognisable singer .............
