Rex
Grace
Children from
Edith Neville School
(2005). Recorded at DIN Studios, Cable Street, London, August 2005.
Produced by Julian Simmons.
Performed by Londoners raising funds for Children In Need
Once again, vocalists in this piece were each given a half-hour slot in the studio.
The day of recording was long, and got a little stressful at times. Many of the performers had never sung before and at one time Benjamin suddenly announced that a Salvation Army band were about to arrive, which almost gave Julian Simmons a heart attack.
Photographs show pianist and bass-guitarist Rex, taking a break from recording, Grace Morrison, who sang the very first line of the song, and children from the Edith Neville School, Somerstown during the filming at Coram's Fields.
Benjamin was particularly excited to be able to work with these children, as he has worked at the school on many occasions as a singing teacher.
