Students and staff in the University Cecilian Choir travelled to Heart Kent Radio recently, to record an ‘Anthem for Kent,’ written by Heart Breakfast presenters James and Becky, and turned into a full arrangement for mixed choir by the Deputy Director of Music, Dan Harding.

A rousing celebration of the glories of the county in mock-Elgar style, the piece highlights popular tourist attractions and aspects that make the county of Kent such a wonderful place to live – even mentioning the excitement of Canterbury’s ring road!

Two members of the Choir, second-year Biosciences student Charlotte Webb, and third-year English student Joe Prescott, were also interviewed about the experience of learning and recording the anthem. The interview, and a tiny snippet of the choir singing, was broadcast on air on Wednesday 2 March; with the full recording  aired on Thursday 3 March from 8-8.30am.
