Children in Need – Charity Single (Thumbs Up!)
Thumbs up to Peter Kay for his efforts with this years Children In Need charity single, what a fantastic idea – why has no one done this before? The Animated All Star Band were a comforting change to the standard charity singles of the last few years.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, and I am sure it will be hit which is requested for many years.
For those of you unsure which hits are included in this marvellous song;
- The Jacksons – Can You Feel It
- Fleetwood Mac – Don’t Stop
- Pussycat Dolls – Jai Ho
- Chumbawamba – Tubthumping
- Take That – Never Forget
- The Beatles – Hey Jude
- Elbow – One Day Like This
To purchase the track… (Please do, if there is one track you buy this year make it this one – not only is it a classic track, it is for a very worthwhile cause)
The track features over 100 famous faces, and I must say it was really nice for all the hardwork to be unveiled on the night of Children in Need instead of being leaked beforehand. I can’t imagine the hardwork that has gone into putting it all together, all the contact work alone must have taken months, let alone the animation and actual recording.
Original character voices including Neil Morrisey (Bob the Builder) and Ringo Starr (Thomas the Tank Engine) were all drafted in to record their various parts.
The Sun published a list of the characters involved today, and I’ve got to say for people like me who like useless information like this, it was a worthy read on what has been a very wet Saturday! Check it out here
Anyway, download or buy the CD/DVD – kids will love this, and so will adults!
Well done Peter Kay, a man who I have always admired for his comic talents, but now, also, for his big heart and commitment to delivering charity singles that deliver time and time again! Hats off to you and the team behind this amazing single, and video.
This is certainly a track that will be added to our extensive music database!
….and for those of you who would like reminding of Peter Kay’s last fantastic charity single’s..
