The Choristers walk daily to and from the Cathedral via the beautiful Vicars’ Close
We’re delighted to hear the exciting news that Woody Collins, budding composer and former Wells Chorister, has had his song Vicars Close shortlisted for the Song Academy Young Songwriter of the Year competition.
The Young Songwriter Competition is the leading international songwriting competition for 8-18 year olds and provides a wonderful opportunity for aspiring young songwriters to get their music heard by some of the best songwriters and producers in the music industry.
Inspired by the view of Wells Cathedral towering above Vicars Close, Woody has combined singing and computer-generated bells to create his work. He has also integrated a choral piece by local composer, Stuart Beer into his music. Stuart has written many works for Wells Cathedral Choir, some of which Woody sang in his chorister days.
We wish Woody the very best of luck!
