The Jodrell Bank Song

When the Science and Technology Facilities Council announced plans to cut back the funding for Jodrell Bank the world was outraged. Quite simply, without funding the site cannot continue to operate!

The Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory has dominated the Cheshire skyline for over half a century and we're certainly not going to let it go without a fight!

Silk FM felt as though we had to do something to keep the plight of Jodrell Bank in the news - and we have! A month on, and local schools, students and radio presenters have joined forces to write and record, The Jodrell Bank Song. The song has been released as a download-only single. All proceeds from sales of the song will go towards keeping Jodrell Bank operating. Download the lyrics here >

We've also set up an e-petition below, simply submit your details and you'll be helping in the plight to save Jodrell Bank! We will not use your data for any other purpose.

I protest against funding cut backs for Jodrell Bank Observatory.
