Joel Corry and Tom Grennan Take Their New Single To New Heights With 160-ft Bungee Jump!

Rewritten in 2024

Atlantic Records were on the prowl for something with a bit of wow factor when looking to launch 'Lionheart', a new single from Joel Corry and Tom Grennan. To promote the new track, Atlantic Records were interested in organising a series of challenges for the artists to undertake.

At the beginning of October, the UK Bungee Club crew made our way down to one of our well-established sites, Bray Lake Watersports in Windsor. The production crew met us on site and after a swift set-up we were ready to meet the musicians, and were excited to unveil the extreme experiences.

The day kicked off with a Catapult, also know as a reverse-bungee. As the name suggests, this differs from a regular bungee jump - in a Catapult, you begin firmly on the ground. The cage then ascends up to height until the rope is fully stretched out. Once one of our team releases the cord, the rope catapults the participant high into the air!

A highly competitive game of Rock, Paper, Scissors was played to decide which of the duo would take on the Catapult. After three nail-biting rounds, Tom came out on top, and Joel headed over to get harnessed up.

This Catapult was a great warm-up for the main event - a 160-ft Bungee Jump! Both Joel Corry and Tom Grennan would be taking part in the Bungee, in the form of a Tandem Jump! The artists prepared themselves by practiced their Tandem hug, and made their way over to our Bungee cage. As they reached the top, Joel explained that their new single would be out on October 21st, before getting the classic '3, 2, 1 Bungee' countdown from our Jumpmaster. Out they went, with many screams and shouts to be heart from the both of them!

With the adrenaline heightened, they decided to do a few more jumps with other members of the team (probably to get their own back). Tom completed another tandem with a member of the production team, and Joel shared the thrill with a member of the marketing team.

Overall, a successful day for both Atlantic Records and UK Bungee Club.
