East London Brass, which is well known for its festive production of 'The Snowman' has teamed up with the Waltham Forest Youth Choir to re-record a version of 'Stay Another Day' with Tony Mortimer from the pop group East 17.

Tackle issues

Communications & Marketing Officer Callum Galbraith from Walthan Forest told 4BR: "It's a beautiful version of the song, with 25% of all proceeds from the single going straight to the charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) which helps tackle issues surrounding suicide — and especially for men under the age of 45."

Talking about the single Tony Mortimer said: "It was inspired by my brother's suicide.

That was the muse behind the song. Writing the verses about such a massive loss was hard, because it was so raw at the time and I drew on that and used the pain of that loss to write it."

He added: "And then I turned it into a love song as I wanted to write in an ambiguous way that would mean a lot to a lot of people. And then away it went."
