Award-winning cellist who performed at Prince Harry’s wedding calls for Proms to ban ‘Rule Britannia’ as “it makes people uncomfortable”
perform just an instrumental version of ‘Rule Britannia’ at the Last Night Of The Proms after criticism over historic links with colonialism and slavery.A survey shortly after revealed that 55 per cent of people opposed the decision, and the song ended up being performed in its original version.Now, lauded cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason – who performed at Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle and was in 2016 the first black person to win the BBC Young Musician award – has shared his hope for the song to be banned at the Proms moving forwards.In an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, Kanneh-Mason said that there was “so much wonderful music” that could be performed instead of ‘Rule Britannia’.“I think maybe some people don’t realise how uncomfortable a song like that can make a lot of people feel, even if it makes [the people singing it] feel good,” he said.“There is so much wonderful British music. The wealth of folk music from this country is astonishing,” he added.“There is so much that is worth celebrating and having as part of a big celebration at the end of a wonderful music festival.”In response, a BBC spokesperson said: “The Proms are built on longstanding traditions that were established by co-founder Sir Henry Wood, and which are loved by people around the world.“One of these traditions is the last night festivities.
