Delta 7: advert-top-1 by McCann London

Delta 7, an inclusive band featuring members with various learning disabilities, have released their debut single.

The group first found themselves in the limelight when a documentary about them won a short film competition judged by James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, BAFTA-award winning director Asif Kapadia ('Amy' and 'Senna'), Edith Bowman and 'Bend It Like Beckham' director Gurinder Chadha.

Now they're taking the next step in their career with the release of first ever track ‘The Jungle’.

Earlier this year, the band inspired Brixton-based young filmmaker Rosie Baldwin to write a documentary script about them, called ‘We Rise’. The script beat stiff competition to win the Picturehouse Members Film Competition. And, as part of the prize, a two-and-a-half-minute short film was professionally shot and produced by London-based advertising agency McCann London and production company Craft London.

Following a positive reception of the film and interest generated in the band including BBC TV news coverage, McCann London has now produced a song recorded with the band during filming. The official track and pop video for the band’s debut single ‘The Jungle’ will raise money for Culture Shift, the charity organisation that brought the band together and which continues to support the band and others with disabilities in the south of England.
