Musical staff from the School of Access and Continuing Education have pledged to raise money for Children in Need by recording their very own charity CD!

The twelve staff, who are all based at Seasiders Learning Centre, hired a recording studio in Blackpool for the afternoon and set about putting their own individual stamp on Michael Jackson’s ‘You Are Not Alone’ and the festive favourite ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’ by Shakin’ Stevens.

The group, who go by the name of ‘Team Spirit’, self funded the production of the CD’s so all profits raised from selling the discs go straight to helping needy children.

Former cabaret performer Robert Walsh was selected as the Lead Vocalist and had a lot of fun making the CD. He said “A colleague went to a recording studio for a hen party and loved it. We do something for Children in Need every year so we thought this would be a great way of making money. Being selected as lead vocal for the charity CD was a joy for me, it has resurrected my vocal career.”

To purchase a copy of the CD contact Robert Walsh on 01253 402950 or Wendy Hirst on 01253 403394. The suggested minimum donation is £3 with all proceeds going to Children in Need.
