Xmas factor finalists revealed

PUPILS at five schools are preparing to sing their hearts out in the final of a Christmas carol competition next month.

The finalists of the Xmas Factor contest were revealed on Tuesday and are:

Cargenbridge Primary – Away in a Manger
Crossmichael Primary – Good Christian Men Rejoice
Langholm Primary – Silent Night
Laurieknowe Primary – Deck the Halls
Loreburn Primary – Hark the Herald Angels Sing
They will compete at Gretna Gateway on Sunday December 11 for the top prize of £500 and a trophy
Lisa McNab from the centre said: “We’d like to thank all of the schools that entered this year’s Xmas Factor. There’s obviously a huge amount of musical talent in Dumfries and Galloway.
“We hope as many members of the public as possible will come along to hear the schools at the grand final. It’s a really heart-warming event and an ideal way to celebrate the start of the festive season.”
