Exeter Cathedral Chorister stars in TV campaign

Date: 18 Dec 2007

The Princesshay Christmas campaign for both TV and radio features the music from the ‘12 days of Christmas’ carol with bespoke lyrics that reflect the celebration and festivities at Princesshay. The TV campaign produced by Sandra Goddard consists of animated festive typography depicting the lyrics of the carol. Sandra who has over 10 years industry experience as a Creative Director in both Europe and America has an impressive work resume including 5 years work with the BBC where she was responsible for producing some of the iconic ‘2idents’ on BBC2.

Freddie, lives with his parents and sister in Chagford and has attended Exeter Cathedral School for the last four years and is one of the city’s most talented young musicians. Growing up in a musical family has given Freddie a passion for all genres of music from classical to heavy metal folk and rock and not only does Freddie sing with Exeter Cathedral choir, he also plays the violin, piano, and drums!

 Andrew Millington, Director of Music for Exeter Cathedral said, “This was a fantastic opportunity for Freddie and gave him the chance to experience behind the scenes of a professional recording studio. I think it’s great that Princesshay chose to use local talent from the city of Exeter to feature in their Christmas campaign.”

The new and unique shopping quarter located in the heart of Exeter will be entertaining shoppers throughout the Christmas period with magical festive events, sparkling lights and glittering Christmas trees.

Starting this Thursday 15^th November, visitors to Princesshay can soak up the festive atmosphere until 9pm with late night shopping every Thursday. There is also street entertainment from 22^nd November, every Thursday from 6pm until 9pm and Sundays, between 12pm and 3pm.

Emma McLeod, Princesshay Marketing Manager said, “We were delighted that Freddie agreed to participate in our Christmas campaign. We were very keen for a local chorister to be involved, given the Cathedral’s excellent reputation for music and it’s close proximity to the new Princesshay Quarter. Freddie is a very talented local musician and singer and was a true professional and a pleasure to work with. Now as we start to embrace the festive spirit and rapidly approach Christmas, we hope visitors and shoppers will take advantage of Princesshay’s late night shopping until 9pm, starting this Thursday.”
