Our staff and students will be broadcast on Corby Radio this afternoon talking about the Academy's new CD.

Music Means Business was performed on, produced and designed by our students and it went on sale on Monday 16th December.

Director of Music, Clive Wears, and students who worked on the CD were interviewed by Chloe Nelson from Corby Radio 96.3FM last week and her piece will be broadcast today at 3.20pm.

The CD features a variety of hit numbers and includes performances by the Academy's Senior Concert Band, Senior Choir, Senior Brass Ensemble, CBA Vocalize and the Junior Concert Band as well as numerous soloists.

It was recorded at the Academy with the support of World of Sound and producer Adam Goldsmith. 

It took more than five months to make and features a variety of popular tracks, including Stand By Me, You’ve Got the Love, Fields of Gold, Someone Like You, Ain’t No Mountain and Encanto.

The vocal solos on the CD were performed by students Chloe Paul, Rebecca Loveday, Eloise Robertson, Callum Connachie, Shona McKinnon, Shannon Leask, Sam Addy and Beth McQuillan.

The CD cover was also designed by a small group of media students led by sixth formers Megan Hogg and Eleanor Jones.

Music Means Business costs £5 and will be available from the Academy’s main reception.
