Sing it Home: Cornwall Air Ambulance launches new album
Cornwall Air Ambulance is hoping to hit the charts with its own album. It’s all part of the Heli2 Appeal which aims to bring a second lifesaving helicopter to the county.
Sing it Home hopes to bring the community together through music to celebrate the arrival of the second AW169 aircraft, and, if enough copies are pre-ordered, the album could reach the UK album charts.
The compilation album features a range of Cornish musicians who’re singing to save lives – some with a personal connection to the charity.
One of the singers featured is one of the charity’s very own Critical Care Paramedics, Jeremy Griffiths. He’s part of shanty group, Falmouth Shout.
‘It’s fantastic to be featured on Sing it Home, which is all about bringing a second aircraft to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly,’ explains Jeremy.
‘Owning a second helicopter will be a huge benefit, as it will help us to attend more patients by air across our 19-hour a day, 365 days a year service.’
‘The track and the album are a great way to bring the community together to make that mission possible. It’s really fantastic, and it’s helping us to raise funds for the new aircraft.’
Tracks include: Sing it Home along with Blades in the Sky and Thank You.
The album includes Cornwall Air Ambulance’s new song Sing it Home along with Blades in the Sky and Thank You. These both featured in previous Christmas campaigns undertaken by the charity.
Other artists featured, include: The Stowes, Kana, Kana Kres, Tom Cary, Shane Solomon, Barrett’s Privateers, Truro Cathedral Choristers, St Dennis Band, Fore Sail and Lottee Brown.
‘We are your charity, for the people of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, and we want to bring our community together,’ says Tim Bunting, Chief Executive at Cornwall Air Ambulance.
‘Owning a second lifesaving helicopter will help us to provide an even more resilient and capable service for you, and what better way to celebrate that than by bringing people together and singing to save lives as part of our Heli2 Appeal.’
‘Thank you to every single person who supports the charity, we can’t do this without you.’
