Gary the Gorilla Music Project

We are excited to be taking part in a Sheffield-wide music project in collaboration with Sheffield Music Hub. Pupils will be helping to create a multi-screen music video, which will be showcased at this year's Tramlines Festival.

The project is based on the true (and slightly unusual!) story of Gary the Gorilla – an 8-foot statue who stood outside a garden centre in Scotland.

Gary became well known in the community, often dressed up for special occasions, before famously being stolen in 2023. His story went viral and then inspired a pop song by The Blossoms! This song has been chosen as The Blossoms will be performing at Tramlines this year.
In the academy, pupils will be learning and performing this song as part of the video project.

This is a fantastic opportunity, similar to our contributions to the Proud video last year (see here www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-N3LDkWBSE) and the Blinded By Your Grace performance when the MOBO Awards came to Sheffield (watch here www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SEPtlN3Sxo&list=RD6SEPtlN3Sxo&start_radio=1).

We will be submitting our video by 3rd July, and the final project will be shared with us before we break for the summer holidays.

How you can help at home:
Encourage your child to listen to the song regularly – be careful though, it is a bit of an ear worm!
– Listen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5UWge0rP-U
– Help them practise and learn the lyrics
