Cathy told The Times: “After watching a programme about charity work for war veterans, we decided that we could raise some funds to help veterans locally, by doing something we both enjoy - singing!”

“Being from Northern Ireland, we felt that the forthcoming Centenary of the Somme would be ideal, as local men from both sides of the community fought and died in the Somme.

“We choose 4 war related tracks - two sombre and two that were a little more upbeat. The CD includes, ‘The green fields of France’, ‘Danny Boy’, ‘Its a long way to Tipperary’ and ‘Pack up your troubles’.

The CD, priced at £9.95, is available either by contacting Cathy or Karl on 07841 350335/07860 438633, or via email [email protected] or [email protected]., or come along to the launch night.
