Cherry Pick of the Week is coming at you a little later than usual this week as I was waiting for the video for the Twitter Christmas Single to be made available again. The eldest Gorgebag and I took part with 138 other crooners in recording this original song in November in the hopes of raising much needed funds for Console Ireland, the National suicide charity. With over 500 deaths by suicide in Ireland every year and this time of year being pretty dark for some it was the perfect choice of charity for support. If you like the tune and want to support this very worthy work then you can buy it here for 99c or indeed pick up the CD in stores for €5 and give the stocking filler that means a little something extra special. I'd love to know what you think of the final production?
On the 11th of November, the eldest Gorgebag & I headed into the Westin in Dublin to take part in the second ever Twitter Xmas Single. Only yesterday did we get to hear the final result as the single, Holding on for Christmas was launched.
This year the single is hoping to raise much needed funds for Console Ireland, an Irish Registered Suicide Prevention Charity supporting people in Suicidal Crisis and those Bereaved through Suicide. Christmas can be a very dark time for some so this upbeat, original track is hoping to raise money and help support those in need of Console's help. As of last night, we are already at number 17 in the iTunes chart, which is a huge accomplishment but if you want to support this very worthy cause you can download the track from iTunes for 99c here or you can pick up the CD as a perfect stocking filler for just €5. I'd love to hear what you think and even more so if you've downloaded your own copy.
