From all corners of the country, be it car, train, bus or in
one case by plane from the US, we converged at the Westin Hotel to sing for #txs2 (#twitterxmassingle). The twitter gathering came about
in 2011 when Brenda Drumm tweeted ‘wouldn’t it be great if we made a twitter
Christmas single’. Little did she realise
what she had unleashed. Last year 140 people
turned up to sing Winter Song to
raise funds for the neo-natal unit in Holles Street.
On Sunday 11th November, in
response to Brenda’s #txs2 tweet, we came together to sing Holding on for Christmas which is an original song written by Ian Callanan, Brenda Drumm, Gavin Byrne and Alan Chadwick. This year the charity of choice is Console, an
organisation that resonates with me on a personal level.
