Story

I have a new single out on July 22nd! The release is in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity, in memory of my brother Calum who passed away last summer, aged just 31. All proceeds are going to the charity.

'One Eleven' expresses how it feels dealing with grief, losing a loved one and hoping to see some sort of sign that they're still with you.

Listen to ‘One Eleven’ here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/andrewwright1/one-eleven 

Music was such an important part of our lives, with many happy memories of singing and performing together, so this seemed like an ideal way to give something back.

Here are some statistics taken from The Brain Tumour Charity's website:

  • Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40
  • Over 12,000 people are diagnosed each year with a primary brain tumour, including 500 children and young people – that’s 33 people every day
  • Over 5,300 people lose their lives to a brain tumour each year
  • At least 88,000 children and adults are estimated to be living with a brain tumour in the UK currently
  • Brain tumours reduce life expectancy by on average 27 years – the highest of any cancer
  • Just 12% of adults survive for five years after diagnosis
  • Brain tumours are the largest cause of preventable or treatable blindness in children
  • Research offers the only real hope of dramatic improvements in the management and treatment of brain tumours. Over £700m is spent on cancer research in the UK every year, yet less than 3% is spent on brain tumours

Please give what you can, in memory of Calum, to help support the amazing work the charity do - whether you listen to the song or not! If you do listen, I hope you enjoy it and it resonates with those who have also lost someone special in their lives.

Thank you.
