A bit more information about the new Christmas track I've been playing: Proceeds from sales of this festive single go to Alder Hey Childrens Hospital. If you would like a copy, to help a worthy cause, it is available from Amazon and iTunes, for download.

With thanks to the Wirral Squirrel for bringing it to my attention and giving me the background.

And some more info........

Big L gets behind a new festive single, to help raise funds for Alder Hey Children's Hospital. The song, "It's Christmas", performed by Benjamin Henry will feature as our Road Roller from 14th December. Although, with an unmistakeably modern sound, it conjures an air of family tradition, a perfect soundtrack for the season.

Long term listener, Colin Bermingham told Big L's Cookie, "The artists behind this record are my friend, Robbie Cross and his chum, Peter Foreman, who have both had to call on the hospital's expertise and wanted to help out. They have known each other for years, from playing in various bands together." He went on to explain "The name Benjamin Henry is derived from thier middle names".

"It's Christmas" may be downloaded from Amazon, iTunes or Spotify. All proceeds from downloads will go to the hospital.

Ian,

What a great charity action to earn money for! Great to shared this song with us, and for helping the hospital. You are a great man. Will search the song up on itunes, and download it. Hope they can earn much money for the hospital. Keep us informed please

I can't take any great credit. I simply read a post by a friend on facebook about it and wondered if we could give it some air play and publicity, and was happy to do what I could to help out, as most people would.

Yes, please do publicise on facebook Debbs, I posted pretty much the same thing on FB the other day, but as I'm by no means an expert on FB, I'm not sure how to send you a link, so here's a slightly updated copy of what's on our website, you're welcome to post:

Co-writer/performer Robbie Cross later told Big L, “This release helps Peter and I who wrote and produced the song to say thank you to the staff for their work with Peters Daughter and my niece. Both of which are fully recovered and getting on with the business of growing up( something I've never actually mastered myself!)”
