A new song for Bristol – Bristol Is Our Playground
Bristol Beacon has released the final New Song For Bristol track.
Lady Nade’s new track ‘Bristol Is Our Playground’, marks the end of the series, which has been showcasing original tracks from Bristol-based artists.
The latest song was made by Lady Nade in collaboration with members of Mini Singers, Bristol Beacon’s choir for Key Stage 1 Children.
is needed now More than ever
“I loved writing with the Mini Singers, writing with children is always much fun as the inner critic hasn’t fully come into awareness yet – as we tend to get older the inner critic knows exactly what’s needed to trigger your tender inner child’s worst fears of not being good enough, smart enough, or of being too much,” said Lady Nade.
“Taking a trip to outer-space was just a great example of what an adult may not have included in a song about Bristol, what’s the relevance?! I love this kind of magic.”

Lady Nade has been performing poetry and music across Bristol as a method to heal grief. Through making music, she has learnt that loss isn’t something one can recover from alone and with her music she creates a communal experience that everyone can enter into.
‘Bristol Is Our Playground’ finishes the project where back in November 2020, Bristol Beacon launched the city-wide project calling out to the Bristol public to submit their experiences of life in Bristol over the course of the last year, through words and music.
