Song created for G7 Summit sung by choirs around the world

As world leaders are preparing to meet in Cornwall, children around the world have come together to perform the G7 song.

Truro Cathedral Choir recorded ‘Gee Seven’ - a song written by Lion King and Joseph lyricist Sir Tim Rice with composer Peter Hobbs - earlier this year.

The song explores the definitions of seven and our place in the world and Sir Rice hopes it will become an anthem.
