New Song for The Jubilee

Our own Director of Youth Service, Hamish MacQueen has released a new song, to celebrate the Jubilee, which is attracting interest from people as far away as Scotland!

“I wanted to write something upbeat and contemporary for the Ignite Team to sing in schools” said Hamish. 

It’s The Jubilee started life with Hamish humming a melody while playing the piano. He recorded it on his phone and sent it along with lyrics for the chorus to long time collaborator and professional producer Matt Dean. After a few emails backwards and forwards they had a basic song but it still needed lyrics for the verse. 

“I read the letter Pope Francis wrote about the Jubilee, and it is beautiful, So I took some of the phrases and put them in the song. The rest just fell into place.” 

You can listen to the song here. The link also provides actions for younger children as well as a backing version of the song and a score.
