I think we all offer something special and unique from across the music and media industry and I can’t wait to bring my energy and passion to the panel.”

I’m delighted to be a part of this prestigious judging line up for the LNER Song for Yorkshire. Songs are a great way to express our emotions and although the times have changed, this is a great way to show that Yorkshire is moving forward and recovering.

Simon Rix

"I’ve been lucky to have worked with a lot of people from the music industry and have absorbed a lot through the creative writing process and it’s great to bring those experiences to the LNER Song for Yorkshire. This competition is all about joy and making everyone feel good about themselves, their communities and remind people why they love Yorkshire. It is an important message during Yorkshire’s COVID-19 recovery. It has the right spirit".

Lizzie Jones MBE

I’m so thankful for my music. Even through the darkest of times - it feels good to sing. It releases the feel good, happy bits in your brain. Music has really helped keep me going through the lockdown, and I know it’s helped loads of other people across the county too. I’m so proud to be part of this competition which combines two of my biggest passions, music and Yorkshire. I know how much talent we have in the county and I can’t wait to hear what people come up with.
