A Belfast school is hoping to catch the attention of pop star James Arthur after creating a special 'sing and sign' version of one of his hits.
Pupils at Fleming Fulton School in South Belfast have been practicing hard for the last couple of months to perfect their own take on the X Factor star's hit 'Impossible'.
The 29-strong choir has students of all abilities and needs and are aged from 12-19.

Speaking to Belfast Live, teacher at the school Mrs Mc Kim explained how the inspiration to cover the song came around and how they're hoping James Arthur might see it himself.
She explained: "Our choir reformed this year after coronavirus>covid and we are a singing and signing choir to allow every pupil to partake.
"We have a James Arthur superfan in our choir and this super fan asked if we could record a song of his and send it to him, so that’s what we did. So we are looking for help to get him to see it.
"We started learning the song in September and recorded the video at beginning of November. We practice once a week, the song is one of about 6 or 7 different songs we have been working on so far this term."
Mrs McKim is hoping the NI public can help spread the video across the internet in the hope that James Arthur will see it.
She added: "I feel really proud of the pupils. The first time I saw the video it was very emotional for me, in a positive way.
"We started the choir in the hope it would be a fun activity for the pupils, it has been their ambition and hard work that drove the making of the video.
"I would love for James Arthur to see it and be able to respond to it!"
