A DEDICATED band will launch its fifth song of a unique and challenging project despite the coronavirus pandemic.

Ben Wood, 35, and his band Ben Wood and the Bad Ideas have embarked on a journey to release a single every month of this year and they will be releasing their fifth single of the project, called Take My World Away on Sunday.

Harwich-born Ben Wood said it was a “serious challenge” to write, arrange, record, mix and master the single during the coronavirus pandemic.

He said: “Some days are tougher than others for everybody at the moment and I guess this one is about the tougher ones.”

The official music video was filmed in Wivenhoe, where Ben lives.

The band’s opening singles to their 2020 project, Cora, Cora, Cora and Noondrunk are both being regularly spun by legendary Los Angeles DJ Rodney Bingenheimer.

The other two songs are called 1930s Gem, released in March, while Lead me On was revealed in April.
