Military Wives Choir-heading for Christmas No 1

I've started this thread for those who haven't seen the program & possibly don't know why this song is so important & to push the CD.

This choir was brought together by Gareth Malone to give the wives & GF's left behind a distraction and focus. It was a great success & now they have a CD released to raise money for two charities the Royal British Legion & SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen & Families) who do a fantastic amount to help the injured and bereaved from all conflicts past & present.

The lyrics to the song come from the love letters exchanged between the choir wives & their LO's.

Even if it's not your usual cup of tea PLEASE consider buying a copy as an extra prezzie for yourself,or family.

The other artists vying for the Christmas No1 have the potential to have other number ones in the future (hopefully) but this is a one of chance for the MWC & these worthy charities.

Thanks for reading- some of the Miliwives are MN-ers so lets show our support!

Well done to everyone - fastest selling single for 6 years and more sold than the rest of the top 12.

I haven't had chance to buy it and I'm really glad it made it. I do want to get a copy at some point.

My grandparents met in the army in WWII and a couple of years ago SSAFA bought Grandma a mobility scooter.

I'm sure it'll still help the charities confuddled which is the important thing, as your Grandma will testify. Xmas Grin
