A Welsh male voice choir recruited entirely through social media site Facebook has been booked to perform at the Millennium Stadium before the Wales v Italy Six Nations match later this month.

Eschoir was formed by Mike Williams, who searched for top talent through Faceboook. Williams told The Western Mail,

"We care passionately about appealing to the younger audience with this type of music, that's why we don't look or sound like any normal choir.

"We'll dress in black, wear skinny ties, have spiky hair and sing songs by the likes of Snow Patrol, Take That, Kings of Leon, Coldplay and Lady Gaga.

"That said, it's usually I Get Around by The Beach Boys that steals the show."
