Subject: Pensioners Tune-Up For Charity Single Launch
Hundreds of pensioners have joined forces to record a charity single and video as part of a campaign to target loneliness. Residents of Anchor care homes and retirement housing properties contributed to the song 'See Yourself', which was inspired by comments from older people across England, Scotland and Wales . All profits from sales will be donated to Contact the Elderly, a national charity that aims to combat loneliness and social isolation among the elderly. ________________________________________________________ HIV vaccine test finishes in disappointment Comedian begins their own discussion with 'Oopsie-Daisy Homophobe' ________________________________________________________ A total of 350 people took part in the recording, including trumpet player David Speedy, 70, and wife Denise, 69, who live at a sheltered housing scheme in Harpenden, near Luton. Grandmother-of-four Denise said: "I first started singing at the age of 10 in school and then joined a church choir. Music is everything to me. "You can turn off and become a different person. Music just takes over. "We feel very proud that we have contributed to a record which will hopefully raise lots of money for a worthwhile charity. We're aiming to get into the top 40." The track, in aid of national charity Contact the Elderly, is now available to pre-order as a CD on Amazon.co.uk and as a download on iTunes. It is released officially on June 3. |
