My story

 

ThreeOneSix are a church / community band based in Preston, Lancashire. Band member's ages range from 17 to 60something...We play our music  solely for the enjoyment and benefit of others - we take no financial reward! A friend of ours - Dave Topping - wrote some powerful words that we immediately associated with BBC Children In Need, and one of our band members - Mike Cushing - wrote original music to fit the words. Thanks to the kind-hearted people at Anchor Studios in Preston (who worked long hours to record the band and mix the music for utterly minimal reward), we have produced our song "Poor Kid". For most of the band, it was a first visit to a recording studio and we all enjoyed ourselves hugely.

For just £1 (or as much as you would like to give!), you can receive your own MP3 copy of this original song. Every penny we raise will go direct to Children in Need - and for UK based visitors to this site, your donation can be increased through the application of Gift Aid. All you need do is:

1) Donate your money!

2) Send an email to m.cushing@tiscali.co.uk to tell us about your donation! Without this message, we can't send you the MP3!

We'll reply to your email within 24 hours - our reply will include an MP3 recording of "Poor Kid" along with words and guitar chords for any musicians who may like to play it themselves.

If you'd rather have a CD of the song, we need to ask for at least £2 to cover our costs. Please use the email as above, but let me know you'd like a CD instead of an MP3!!

Please pass this link on to as many people as you like!!!!!!

Thanks for buying "Poor Kid" and for helping Children in Need
