That previously reported choirboy outfit, named The Choirboys, managed by Aled Jones and signed to Universal Classics, are to donate the proceeds of their upcoming single to children's charity the NSPCC. The single, a cover of Eric Clapton's 'Tears In Heaven', is to be released on 19 Dec. The boys, who are all twelve years old, say: "We are living our dream. We wanted our success to help children who aren't able to live theirs. By giving money from our single to the NSPCC we hope that more children will be able to fulfil their potential."
Wes Cuell, NSPCC Director of Services for Children and Young People said: "CJ, Patrick and Ben are fulfilling their potential - something the NSPCC wants for every child. In the excitement of their success, they have found time to think of other children who are not as lucky as them. The boys are a great example and the money raised from their single will make a huge difference to the UK's most vulnerable children."
HMV have named the track as their choice for Christmas number 1, whilst bookies William Hill have given it 12-1. As discussed the other day, they'll be battling it out against Westlife, G4 and Crazy Frog, if I remember rightly. The Choirboys' album is due out on 7 Nov.
