The choir’s backstory resonated deeply: members were among the 700+ victims of the Horizon IT scandal, which falsely accused postmasters of financial crimes due to faulty software. Between 1999–2015, many faced bankruptcy, imprisonment, and even suicide. The group’s BGT appearance highlighted their fight for justice, with one member stating, “We’re here to show our resilience.”
