A hilarious & heartbreaking tale of talent shows, strikes, racism, broken homes and big dreams. How did the musical, POP! Come about?

Ukrainian mothers are writing their family contacts on the bodies of their children in case they get killed and the child survives. And Europe is still discussing gas.

A wonderfully uplifting and energetic première of Pick Me Up at last night’s Gala Concert, written and conducted by our Resident Composer @MarkDavidBoden - lots of references to electronic dance music proved a favourite with pupils #KESBathPerform @KESBATHMusic

[Mark Boden @MarkDavidBoden]

Completed final mixes of’ Pick Me Up’ today, commissioned by @KESBath. Premiere at Guildhall Bath 15/02/22 with @bathphil #newmusic #somethingdifferent #EDM #dancemusic

Huge thanks @BBCDerby for promoting my collaboration with @JMThras. As a Derby fan & composer, hearing my music underscore Sportscene felt amazing. Hope the video helps highlight just how much the club means to the #dcfcfans & community ���� 🐏🖤🤍 #SaveDerbyCounty

Super proud of KES Music teacher, composer and life-long Derby County fan, Mark Boden, who has composed the stirring soundtrack to this emotive poem in support of his beloved club.

Have you heard ‘Together We Are Strong’ by ⁦KES Soul, recorded virtually on phones by pupils past & present ⁦@KESBath⁩ in support of #NHSworkers #keyworkers #ClapForOurCarers ? 👏 🎶 😃 https://t.co/gGagaUBwWD

[Mark Boden @MarkDavidBoden]

@Bathfestivals we might not have been able to perform at ‘Party in the City’ last week but talented pupils @KESBath have remotely recorded the individual parts to this song on their smartphones to thank #keyworkers #NHSheroes & #ClapForOurCarers 👏 👏 👏 https://t.co/breD4QN6rA

[King Edward's School, Bath @KESBath]

We are feeling very proud of past & present members of KES Soul today, as they launch their song - Together We Are Strong - which was recorded in support of all the key workers and #NHS staff who have been at the forefront during these challenging times.

[Mark Boden @MarkDavidBoden]

Wonderful to listen to audio flooding in of my #arrangement of ‘Together We Are Strong’. Spent the morning #mixing over 50 separate tracks #recorded remotely by talented current & former pupils @KESBath - huge thanks to all! Not long before we launch our video #ThankYouNHS 😃

[Mark Boden @MarkDavidBoden]

KES SOUL should have been performing @TheBathFestival #partyinthecity tonight. In the absence of our live set, here is a bit of ‘I Wanna Be Like You’ recorded @RWCMD #SoundCloud #np https://t.co/3Ceuo8rtwJ @KESBath #musicforyouth #creative

[King Edward's School, Bath @KESBath]

Tonight, KES SOUL should have been headlining Bath Assembly Rooms as part of @TheBathFestival 2020. Instead, you can listen to a few excerpts from their earlier songs recorded @RWCMD #Partyinthecity
