#BEATBOX Supports Liverpool's Big City Soul Collective New Christmas Single

Liverpool's Lord Mayor, Cllr Erica Kemp joined artists and choirs from across the region on Saturday 4^th October to record a new charity Christmas single at Parr Street Studios.

The song, 'Liverpool Heart' has been specially written for the City of Liverpool under the banner of the Big City Soul Collective in a bid to embrace Liverpool's grass roots talent.

Over 200 local performers will feature on the track which will raise money for the charity Liverpool Heartbeat to fund projects designed to help young people reach their creative potential.

Up-and-coming young artists such as Joe Maddocks, Sophie-Ellen Evans, Hayli Kincade, Sophie Clarke and Michael Owens will be joining local buskers to record the single alongside the Liverpool Community Choir, the Choir With No Name, AFMIM Gospel Choir and Whitefield School Choir with bands including The Hummingbirds, Ukebox and The Occasionals. 

Ian Hewitt said: “People really love the song and we have been overwhelmed by the support we've received for the Big City Soul Collective. I was so proud to write the song as a gift to the City of Liverpool. I am even more proud that the song will be performed by so many individuals and groups who are truly world class vocalists and will bring ' Liverpool Heart' to life. This is Liverpool’s Christmas Song, wear your Liverpool heart on your sleeve and sing out loud with pride in your city.

“We're so pleased to have the Lord Mayor's support and it's brilliant that we are able to record in Parr Street studios. We now really need the people of Liverpool to support the project by downloading the song and following us on social media.
