East London Brass help with charity single

East London Brass has played its part in helping the prevention of suicide by linking up with East 17 star Tony Mortimer and Waltham Forest Youth Choir for Christmas single launch.

Calm
  CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) is the charity that will benefit

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."
