Kettering’s Faryl to sing at Twickenham again
Kettering’s Faryl Smith will grace the Twickenham turf again next month ahead of England’s Six Nations clash with Italy.
Faryl, who shot to fame in Britain’s Got Talent’s 2008 series, will return to the home of English rugby having performed there just three months ago.
Before the match kicks off at 4.45pm on Saturday, March 9, Faryl will be singing Jerusalem and both the Italian and English national anthems. It will be live on ITV.
Proud dad Tony said: “It is another great honour for Faryl to be asked to sing once again ahead of one of the big games.”
