Real Point were recently asked by RantProd, a midlands based music production company, to design and build their new website. Nothing unusual there you might say, but it's literally launched with a fanfare.
The new site went live on Friday, coinciding with the launch of their new song; a feel good, party song celebrating the Queen's Jubilee, with a great video too. So if you're looking for the track to get you partying next weekend, take a listen, share it with your friends and if you've got a mo take a look at their new website too. Get ready to fly your Jacks....!

Party Anthem to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee – Jubilation Nation
Jubilation Nation is the latest track to come out of http://www.rantprod.co.uk part of Coventry’s Born in a Barn Studio, and features no less than 10 West Midlands singers.
Producer Roger Greasby said “The last few months have seen so many good musicians coming through the studio, that it seemed a shame not to harness all that talent in writing our song for the Queen’s Jubilee. A small idea just snowballed and before we knew it we had a huge party anthem on our hand. At BB Studio I host hundreds of kids Pop Star Parties and the Royal Party has to be one of the biggest we shall see, so who better to write a song for it than me! The song had 60 tracks of audio & instruments to mix and it’s Her Majesties 60th Jubilee – boom!”
Jubilation Nation, features international singer & vocal coach Alana Shirley, as the leadin’ lady and Midlands rap master Bb (aka That Brum Kid) – both supported by a host of other local singers. It is freely available to watch, share & download on YouTube & SoundCloud and as Roger Greasby points out it is not for profit or charity. “It didn’t seem right to try and market this commercially or encourage people to part with any cash”, he said, “We all agreed we were in it for the music, the fun and exposure. It took around 2 weeks to make so we hope people like the track!! It’s a poptastic party anthem, has a cool but crazy video, for which we simply hired a stretch limo, covered ourselves in Union Jacks and headed to London for the day!”
Any comparisons with official Jubilee song ‘Sing’ are quickly dismissed. “Barlow and Webber’s song is a wicked piece of music obviously, but Jubilation Nation was written with no pressures, no rules and for an entirely different reason. Everyone just threw in their own bit and we ended up with a very contemporary piece of music with a simple message – ‘Everyone shake yer Jack – It’s Britain’s turn to party!’
Tony White (RantProd partner) concludes: “Jubilation Nation is an audio listening experience, as there is not a second of unvoiced track and the video is a visual circus of activity as we rampaged around London in a bling’ed up stretch.”
