On Monday 14 April 2008, Cheshire’s 106.9 Silk FM unveiled to its listeners their own campaign song to save Jodrell Bank when it was faced with a shortfall in its budget, entitled “The Jodrell Bank Song” and sung by a group dubbed “The Astronomers”. Along with the song, the Silk FM team also produced a music video filmed in front of the iconic Lovell telescope [link above]. Silk FM released the song for download from Monday 21 April 2008. All proceeds went towards saving Jodrell Bank.
