A TEENAGE choir girl has laid down a track in a recording studio so her housebound grandmother can hear her vocal talents.

Kerryann Farmer, 15, enquired about recording a song in the studio at The ACE Centre, Nelson, because her nana Cynthia Thorne, who has difficulty leaving her Luton home, has never been able to make the trip North to any of the concerts she has performed in.

Moved by the teenager’s story, Phil Storey, chief executive of Pendle Leisure Trust, which runs the £6.5 million Cross Street centre, agreed to let her use the state-of-the-art facilities free of charge.

The Pendle Vale College pupil recorded The Climb, a hit for both Miley Cyrus and X-Factor winner Joe McElderry, on Tuesday.

Kerryann, who is a member of the school’s Vocalise choir, said the experience was ‘brilliant.’ The Brierfield youngster said: “The only thing I can say about the experience is that is was out of this world and I will never forget it.”

Kerryann said she had considered a career as a singer but is hoping to train as an English teacher after leaving school.

She is now looking forward to presenting her nana, who does not know about the recording, with the CD this weekend.

She also dedicated the song to Jack Ingham, known locally as Magic Jack, who died aged 64 earlier this year.

The magician, who used his tricks to spread the word of God in Pendle schools, died after a long battle with colon cancer.

When Kerryann’s other grandmother died, she said he spoke to her about the metaphorical mountain of grief in front of her.

And she said his words helped her find the strength to make the climb.

She said: “I am doing this because my nanna has never heard me sing and I would like to dedicate it to Magic Jack, as he helped me climb every mountain I came to and a lot of people have been touched by his passing.”
