Exeter school choir sings for Radio 4

On Wednesday afternoon, five members of the Junior School Choir were invited to Jack Simpson House in Heavitree to take part in a recording for Radio 4's You and Yours programme, currently scheduled to be broadcast on Friday 20 June.

The children sang several songs and were interviewed by the presenter Carolyn Atkinson both individually and while chatting to the residents.

The programme will concentrate on how the charity' Kissing It Better' brings the wider community in to the home, engaging the residents with conversation and music.

Music Teacher Rachel Mitchell said the children were a real credit to Exeter Junior School and to themselves and obviously extremely happy to chat away to a large microphone, especially when rewarded with a huge amount of cake! "As we were unfortunately not able to take the whole of the choir, the usual 11 children who have been singing at the home made a recording of 4 songs which will be edited into the final programme."

Many thanks for Andrew Daldorph for accompanying the children on this recording.
