A right royal Bristol Song

David’s composition, with words by Anna Farthing and Eugene Byrne, will receive a royal audience when it is sung at Bristol’s M Shed museum on 14th December 2011. The Princess Royal will officially open Bristol’s new museum when she visits the city next month. The Bristol Song was written for the opening of the M Shed in June, and was sung by a choir of over 150 children from primary schools all over Bristol, who will be getting together again to sing to the princess.
