Sheer Joy Music from Runcorn in Cheshire, is raising funds for Prospect Hospice through the sale of a CD of love songs in memory of the late Richard M S Irwin who passed away at the hospice last December.
Richard Irwin was a talented composer and worked with his friend Colin Gordon-Farleigh to produce the songs on this CD. All of the lyrics were written by Colin with music on four tracks by USA composer Greg Scheer and on the remaining track by Richard Irwin. Richard arranged and performed them for the singer, Victoria Paterson, who is from Surrey.
The CD, the title of which is Love Songs Of The Heart, is released as a tribute to Richards talent and every penny raised will be handed to Prospect Hospice – a local charity which provides care and support to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families.
The songs are available to download from Spotify and all leading digital music sites. It can be purchased as a CD for £7.50, which includes post & packing, by emailing colin@sheerjoymusic.com
Sheryl Crouch, head of income at Prospect Hospice, added: “Every year Prospect Hospice supports hundreds of families across Swindon and the surrounding areas who are going through one of life’s hardest journeys. We want to be there to care for each and every person with a life-limiting illness who needs us.”
“That is why we are so grateful to Colin and Sheer Joy Music for all the hard work put in to organizing this event. The funds raised help Prospect Hospice to make a huge difference to the lives of hundreds of people and their loved ones every day. Thank you Colin!”
The money raised will go towards Prospect Hospice’s vital services, such as the charity’s In- patient Unit and Prospect@Home care service.
