PUPILS, parents and staff at Yarm School who formed a virtual choir during lockdown are celebrating the premiere of their version of Pixie Lott’s cover of The Housemartins’ Caravan of Love at the annual Dovecote Concert.
This year’s concert, which usually takes place in the Dovecote, a renovated 15th Century building in the school’s grounds, was a virtual event, with pop, jazz, classical and musical theatre performances from Yarm School pupils.
The event marked the first time the track, which was organised by the school’s music department, had been heard as a finished performance. The song comprises many individual performances recorded at home and stitched together.
Mrs Staggs, Director of Music at Yarm School said: “This project was important to all of us at Yarm School. The past few months have been difficult for everyone, particularly young people, and music is fantastic for unifying people in troubling times."
