7 Bridges Music
As the 7 Bridges Project has evolved, a related music project has also been gaining momentum. To date, five songs have been written and recorded for the project. The first of these was written by Felix Buxton of Basement Jaxx, and performed by the local school children. The music project aims to produce an album of diverse music and songs written for Loughborough Junction, to encourage other arts within the area and to aid with place-making.
We asked Felix of Basement Jaxx to create a song for the project and he enthusiastically accepted to produce the first track, getting kids from Loughborough Junction schools to participate in this great track, "One Life!"
