During lockdown, I had the privilege of working with members of Bristol Youth Choir as part of Bristol Beacon’s A New Song For Bristol project, which you can read more about here.

The resulting track is called “When Music Says A Thousand Words” and you can listen to it on YouTube now. I was so impressed by the resilience, humour and intelligence of these young people - I’m only sorry I couldn’t include more contributions in the space of just 6 minutes!

Many thanks to everyone involved - and do check out the other tracks released in the Beacon’s excellent New Song series, which showcase a huge range of voices and perspectives from a city I’m proud to call home.
