Liverpool’s finest young voices have been given a starring role on the Lord Mayor’s charity Christmas CD.
The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Gary Millar has released a special Christmas album to raise money for his charities.
Lord Mayor, Councillor Gary Millar said: “I had the idea some time ago to create, record and produce a Christmas album called ‘Voices of Angels’ and thanks to the help and support of schools, individuals and my consort Steve MacFarlane I now have a fantastic CD full of inspirational and uplifting tracks
“I am delighted that we have managed to get the CD ready in time for Christmas, the mix of voices is truly heartwarming to hear.
“I hope I can encourage as many people as possible to go out and buy the CD, at just five pounds this not only makes a great gift for someone for Christmas but also goes a long way to helping out local charities.”
One very special school involved in the CD is Springwood Heath Primary School in Garston, a unique school that has a mix of disabled and able bodied pupils, who recorded two fantastic tracks.
Bay TV Liverpool went along to the School with the Lord Mayor to meet the teachers and pupils and to see first-hand the enthusiasm and energy regarding their involvement in the Christmas CD. To see the school perform their song click here http://bit.ly/Isc4Wv
