With what’s now become an annual tradition, the Ashbourne extreme quintette have released an Xmas charity single, this year for MIND. Following on from 2019s “The Santanist” and last year’s epic cover of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?“, not only does the band not fail to disappoint, they also take us completely by surprise with this vocal cover of 90s bad-boy boy-band, East 17, so we’ll not give the game away too much and let you hear for yourself.
The song was written by East 17’s Tony Mortimer:
It was based on my brother’s suicide and losing someone. What would you do if you had one more day with a loved one? It was all based on conversations I’d had with my brother and I was trying to change it into a love song about the end of a relationship.
Not just a Christmas banger but also a fitting tribute to marry with the charity. It’s OK to not be OK, there is no shame, pick up that phone and have a chat.
