What an afternoon! and what a performance! from the moment the music started up for the opening dance routine you could feel a tingle of anticipation in the air. A large audience had assembled, no doubt intrigued by our wonderful banner which heralded the performance of the fantastic new We Are One! ChildLine single for 2009. Only half an hour previously we had been running around in turmoil as the generator had failed under the load of the sound system! Well done the White Hart for powering us up! - this has to be the friendliest bar in Britain! Then the dancers started their routine - and it was electrifying! Their teacher, Mrs Garland was following every step - and so were the crowd. What an ovation at the end too, I know everyone was standing but they would have been anyway! Next up was the choir, 30 strong and swathed in green ChildLine tee shirts, they had a very moving impact. This is no ordinary school choir, Mrs Rewse, the schools Choirmaster,  has these guys perorming at just about every major event within a 50 mile radius and their reputation continues to grow! They performed some of their most moving numbers here, and you really could see the impact on the faces of the audience as their emotions were pulled first one way with 'slipping through your fingers', and then the other with their rendition of the uplifting 'Rythmn of Life'. And then... just as you thought it could not get any better, up stepped the We Are One! group to perform their song. There was a lot of pressure on these girls - they were after all following such a strong line up, but as soon as the music started the crowd began to clap in time. Now there was a satisfying mix of both wonderment and disbelief in the air as the girls performed their act - it was brilliant! The girls amplified voices reached out across the square perfectly, and their obvious confidence and enjoyment at performing the song was infectious! Mr Payne had the biggest smile of the day! As a performer, you know you've nailed it when the audience demand an encore! Well done Wyke Regis Junior School - and well done We Are One! you all really did yourselves proud!!!

We’ve just heard the record for the very first time and it rocks!  I sound really different.  It’s Amazing! Even if you don’t download the record, please still donate money to ChildLine, because that’s what it’s all about.  It’s great to think that any money we raise goes towards helping children have better lives.  We really need your help.

The whole thing is like a dream.  While I was recording, Barry told me to shout it to the person on the other side of the road and it made me feel really excited!  Download the track because you won’t believe your ears.  It’s not right if children aren’t happy.  Children can’t just run away because that just makes the situation worse.  We need money so that there can be someone on the other end of the phone for the children in distress.  Remember: life isn’t as simple as it seems.
