Our end-of-year musical adventure in late October our long-term pal and songwriter extraordinaire Chris Eaton presented a song he wrote in commemoration of WW1 to the RAF Benevolent Fund. They loved it and a plan was hatched to put it out for Christmas to raise funds for the 3 main services charities RAFBF, RNRMC and ABF The Soldiers' Charity. There was no label as such, just the team at the charity, renowned plugger Jeff Chegwin and propermusic.com Distribution. The end result appearances on BBC Breakfast and Sky News; all over BBC Radio 2 (B List then A List) and BBC radio and TV regionally; #1 iTunes Christmas songs; 140,000 YouTube views; and £££s and profile raised for the best possible cause. It just shows what a great song and a small bunch of totally committed individuals can achieve. Here ya go https://itunes.apple.com/ /1914-carol-christmas /id944235108
