Howell’s School pupils joined a cast of singers and musicians at the school’s on-site Recording Studio in October to record a special charity song and video.

 

For one young singer it is the chance to put her own X Factor heartache behind her and go head to head with her best friend in the battle to be the Christmas top of the pops. Becki Herdman was all set to go to the X Factor auditions in Liverpool with best friend, Sami, but had to drop out when she was rushed to hospital on the day of the Echo Arena tryouts.

Robbie Locke, of Howell’s School, said: “We are really delighted to be part of this. The recording facilities here at Howell’s are top class and the school buildings and grounds and their setting make it a fabulous place to film as well. It is also a great opportunity for the girls to get involved and take part and, who knows, they might be able to put chart-topper on their CVs at the end of it.”

Inscreen Music chairman Rob Lloyd, said: “We will be producing a full budget video that will be out at the same time and all artists who help will be in this and sing the main chorus together.  Inscreen Music specialises in unsigned bands and artists and aim to give them their big break in the music business. Howell’s was our choice as it combines a cutting edge recording studio with fantastic faciIities and a stunning setting and we’re glad to be able to involve the girls as well.”

The single is now complete and is in the hands of the distributors.  It will be available to purchase in shops or by download by around the 28th November. www.projectunderdog.com
