As part of Fearne Cotton's show on BBC Radio 1 on 29 August, the She's So Lovely singers will have Guildford's ACM Gospel Choir lending their vocals to new song Summertime In The City and a mystery cover song.

The ACM Gospel Choir are made up of 16 to 24-year olds from Guildford and the surrounding areas, and have previously provided backing vocals for the likes of Alexandra Burke as well as getting to the semi-finals in the BBC's Last Choir Standing. They will be travelling to the Maida Vale studios to get some rehearsal time in with Scouting For Girls before the live performance on air.

The home of the gospel choir, the ACM or Academy of Contemporary Music, boasts six major teaching centres across three continents. Students can take courses in all aspects of the music industry all the way up to Masters degree level, and has recently set up a range of smaller franchises to make an education in music accessible to even younger pupils.
