CELEBRITIES TO LAUNCH QUEEN SINGLE
FOR OUR TROOPS

http://www.soldierscharity.org/no-one-but-you


Darren Day, Alice Barry from Shameless, X Factor contestant Rachel Hylton and Jack Marsden from the award winning Cops series are amongst the celebrities who teamed up to record Queen song No-one But You (Only The Good Die Young), to raise vital funds for a charity which supports the brave men and women who have risked all to serve their country.

The single, which will be released on 12 July 2010, has been endorsed by Queen guitarist Bryan May. All proceeds from the single, which will be available as a download, will go to ABF The Soldiers' Charity, which helps soldiers in, former-soldiers and their families. Darren feels it is a charity worth supporting:

"I know and love this Queen song and I thought the lyric and sentiment behind it represented so well the heartache of loss, and the pride we feel in what our boys in the forces do for us.

"I am humbled by the sacrifices made for us, and I am honoured to contribute to this record and to support the great work of The Soldiers' Charity," he said.

The Soldiers' Charity, now in its 66th year, is aiming to raise £14m annually by 2015. Chief Executive, Major General Sir Evelyn Webb-Carter, who himself served in Northern Ireland and Bosnia, is delighted that the stars have agreed to help. He said:

"It is wonderful entertainment and a simple fundraising idea. I hope people will download it and thereby support this excellent cause, which helps our soldiers, former soldiers and their families who are in need. We are
CELEBRITIES TO LAUNCH...p2/2

enormously grateful to everyone who has given up their time to make this happen."
Making Some Memories, the company behind the project, said those involved, including serving soldiers Weeton Barracks-based 2nd Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment and Worsthorne Primary School choir, had 'taken their own time out to be able to help support such an important cause.'
Other household favourites who contributed to the single include Former Emmerdale actress and Dancing on Ice Champ Hayley Tammadan;and her partner Dan Whiston, Ian Aspinall who plays Holby City's 'Mubbs'; CBBC presenter Lorna Laidlow; Poppy Jhakra who played Minnie in Coronation Street,former sweet sensation singer Recardo Patrick, Music means life competition winner Karen Harding, comedian Frank Carson and actor Tim Healy.

For Coronation Street actor Mikey North, whose Weatherfield character bad boy Gary Windass is about the join the army, the cause is one which is close to his heart.

"I would always want to support our lads in the forces, and it's become more relevant to me because of my role in Coronation Street playing Gary Windass.

"Being involved with this song is my way of acknowledging the hard work and many sacrifices that are made for us by our young soldiers, many of them being lads my age who give up their lives to protect our way of life and liberty. Cheers lads," said Mikey.
Also involved in the track were music studios Rock Hard Music Group from Blackpool and the Silvertones who recorded the musical track.
