Sheffield Cathedral choir and singer/songwriter Helen Gray have teamed up to produce a charity single for Christmas to raise funds for the Cathedral Breakfast and Archer Project which works with the homeless. The song is a new arrangement of the popular carol "In The Bleak Midwinter" in a pop/Celtic style, featuring Ms Gray on lead vocal, the boys, girls and men of the choir, African drums and Paul Quinn (of Saxon) on guitar. The enhanced CD includes a bonus dance mix and CD-ROM music video. It is all done very well: the vocals are excellent and the guitar solo fits surprisingly well. It is for a good cause and is worth five pounds of your money.
