Putting together the Hawkstone Farmers' Choir, which includes Llangollen's former mayor and won last Saturday's last Britain's Got Talent semi-final, was a bit like herding sheep.
That was how choir director Lizzie described the process when she and two of the other choir members appeared on ITV's This Morning show earlier today.
She told how the original 500 farmers recruited were eventually whittled down to just 34 following the initial auditions held at Jeremy Clarkson's Farmers Dog pub.
"It was a bit like herding sheep but when they got together on that first day and started to sing I thought they were incredible," she said.
Another choir member told the presenters that farming could be lonely but that coming together had changed their lives.
"We really hope this is just the start. One day we'd like to do Glastonbury."
After their live semi-final victory the singers are due to compete in the BGT series 19 grand final, for a £250,000 prize and an appearance at the Royal Variety Performance, next Saturday on ITV1 from 7pm.
Llangollen's former town mayor, Aled Morris, told llanblogger after the semi-final: "It is unbelievable! We are all so gobsmacked by the support and love that we have been shown and we are incredibly grateful for all the support in getting us through to the final."
