Don’t Look Away

How it all started: I was listening to a spokesman for a children’s charity being interviewed by a presenter on BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme. She asked him what message he would send to people when they see the terrible images and film footage of hungry and suffering children around the world. He replied “Don’t Look Away”.

I couldn’t get those words out of my head. It is so easy to just do that; look the other way and get on with our comfortable lives…and anyway, we all think we’ve got enough problems of our own, don’t we? Soon afterwards I wrote the song, “Don’t Look Away” and recorded it in my home studio. Now, brilliant writer, musician and producer, Gareth Davies has made it sound pretty good, and members of CAST Youth Theatre have added their voices and their enthusiasm to the project. I hope you like it.

Please look out for it in January.

Proceeds from the sale of this single will go to a children’s charity.
