Sound UK: A Song for Us

Written By Thandanani Gumede

Created by West Yorkshire-based composers Boff Whalley (Chumbawamba) and Thanda Gumede, a new song inspired by the county and its inhabitants will be premiered online as part of Sound UK’s nationwide project A Song for Us on Wednesday 2 February 2022.

‘Looking Out, Reaching Out’ is one of 14 County songs written to mark the struggles of the past 18 months. It’s co-commissioned by Sound UK and Opera North, and it aims to celebrate communities and the power of music in bringing them together.
