A new song celebrating Highbridge will be performed at an upcoming event.

The Coastline Singers will debut the tune, crafted by Daniel Birch, at the U3A coffee morning in Highbridge Community Hall on December 18 at 11am.

Its lyrics are based on what people told Somerset Film they love about the town.

The charity attended the U3A coffee morning earlier this year to gather this information.

Mr Birch, who is a creative technologist, used these contributions to help make the song.

He was assisted by artificial intelligence tools.

Mr Birch said: "I wanted to work with others to break through the wave of hesitancy that comes with using AI or any new technology and to do something out of the ordinary.

"This felt like a way to use music, singing and technology to unite the community."

The debut performance by the Coastline Singers is aimed at not only showcasing the song, but also inviting attendees to explore how AI can assist them in their own creative endeavours.

Somerset Film plans to record the performance and share it online.

The U3A coffee morning is scheduled to take place from 10am to 1pm.
