Jeremy Clarkson’s choir land starring role in new Clarkson’s Farm to make show less dark

Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir have landed a role in the next series of Clarkson’s Farm – after wowing judges and viewers on Britain’s Got Talent.

During their audition for the ITV show, the group – aged between 27 and 74 – performed a rendition of ‘One Day Like This’ by Elbow.
They certainly impressed judge Amanda Holden, who used the Golden Buzzer to send the choir through to the live shows.

Viewers can expect to see more of the choir on-screen, as they will be featuring in the upcoming fifth series of Clarkson’s Farm.

Jeremy, 66, who has fronted the hit Prime Video series since 2021, helped to form the choir, while they are supported by his Hawkstone Brewery.

A TV insider told The Sun: ‘Filming for series five is well and truly under way and the finished show is likely to air next year.
‘Fans will, however, be able to see series four in a matter of weeks, though according to Jeremy it’s a rather darker season than we’ve been used to.

‘But the appearance of the Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir in the following outing is going to make it more uplifting.

‘They’re going to have to get used to being even more famous though.’
Jeremy brought together the 32-member group in 2024 and they also work towards raising awareness and funds for mental health charities within the agricultural community.

Elsewhere, the choir have released a record and plan to give the money to mental health charity Shout.

It has been released in the run-up to Mental Health Awareness Week in May, with the choir kindly giving all profits from their vinyl directly to Shout in support of Farmers mental wellbeing.

The choir, which is now run by farmers Simon Gwilliam and Lizzy Dean, was originally set up by the former Top Gear presenter after searching for singing agricultural workers to appear in an advert for his Hawkstone beer range.

The record is called The Banned One after a Hawkstone advert was banned for ‘not complying’ with broadcasting standards.
Victoria Hornby, chief executive of Shout, said: ‘The Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir has given an incredible voice to the mental health challenges faced by so many in the agricultural community.

‘We are immensely grateful to be the charity partner for this project. The funds raised from this vinyl will be vital, enabling us to train more volunteers and be there for anyone in the farming community who is struggling to cope. It will save lives.’
The Banned One is now available to buy on Hawkstone website for £7.50.

Jeremy previously shared he was ‘so happy’ as he heaped praised on the ‘fantastic’ choir, which is made up of farmers from around the UK.

Speaking to his fans on social media, Jeremy explained: ‘I watched Britain’s Got Talent tonight for the first time because the Hawkstone choir were on.

‘They were just fantastic. These guys are all farmers and they work incredibly hard for really incredibly small rewards and to see them all on that stage with all that love in the room made my heart sing.’

Holding back his emotions, he admitted of watching the audition: ‘I actually welled up, and thank you Amanda Holden for pressing that Golden Buzzer.

‘It shows that I think people quite like farmers, and they were very, very good so well done, all of you. I’m a very happy man tonight because the choir is fab. That’s it.’
