As part of BBC Music Day, (a UK wide annual celebration of the power of music to change lives), Leicester based DMU Gospel Choir brought their spectacular gospel sound to the Sainsbury`s store at Fosse Park to entertain shoppers. The performance was recorded for BBC local radio (BBC Radio Leicester) for broadcast later in the day by Jimmy Carpenter. The theme for the music day 2019 is music and wellbeing; the power of music to inspire, bring us together and make a positive impact, something that the DMU Gospel Choir certainly brought to shoppers with big smiles throughout the store. With thanks to DMU Gospel Choir, Sainsbury`s Fosse Park and BBC Radio Leicester for making the event a big success.

On the evening of Friday 13th, a day long associated with strange occurrences, bright lights appeared above the city of #Leicester performing an aerial dance across the sky. People below wondered what was happening as pyrotechnic flares shot from the Unidentified Flying Objects, calls where made to law enforcement by those trying to work out what the strange lights above them might be. The sky ballet continued as phones and cameras where pointed skyward, all too soon they disappeared. People where clueless as tweets and messages filled social media speculation was rife, first contact with aliens or maybe falling space debris re-entering the atmosphere where all suggested causes. In the end the explanation was far more down to earth, it was a aerobatic stunt display team named AeroSPARX helping BBC Radio Leicester launch their new drivetime show.
