Volunteers At Canalside Community Radio & The Cabin 5150 Recording Studio in Macclesfield, along with the kids of St Johns Primary School, Pott Shrigley Primary School & Ivy Bank Primary School came together to create a single in aid of Children In Need.
The song was written by two extremely talented musicians, Che Hargreaves and Callum Hogan, in less than 4 weeks!. It also features Laura Crow on keyboards and Elliot White on Drums.

The first airing of 'Help A Child' was played on Canalside Radio and on www.cy4yradio.co.uk, the single was then released on iTunes on 12th December.

As Children In Need are already promoting an official song, we decided to release this in December as an 'Unofficial Christmas Single'. Our aim is to sell 3000 copies and raise £2,000 for Children In Need from the sales of the single, anymore would be a great bonus obviously!

The track can be purchased from http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/help-a-child-single/id490472604

The video was filmed by James Nicholas (Emmy Award winning news cameraman).

At a red carpet Positive Action North West 2011 awards ceremony, on Thursday, October 20th, Canalside Radio picked up a prestigious Positive Action award.
