Holistic Feathers

A new song has been launched in support of the Afghan Heroes charity set up by the mothers of soldiers killed in the conflict.

Called ‘Afghan Dawn’, the song has been written by Newcastle brothers Danny and Neil Cox of The Cheap Suits, and was inspired by Neil’s service with the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers during the Gulf War between August 1990 and February 1991.

The song will now be adopted by the charity as its official theme and is available to download from various internet music retailers.

Neil said: “I have witnessed first-hand the devastating effects of conflicts on soldiers and their families, which is why I was inspired to write a song for those serving in Afghanistan.

“The work this charity does is so admirable, my brother and I had them in mind the whole time we were writing the song. We hope it will raise a lot of money for this great cause.”

Afghan Heroes was set up earlier this year by founder Denise Harris and other mums who all lost their sons in what was one of the bloodiest 24hrs since the conflict began.

Money raised by the charity will go towards supporting those on the front line, the families of those who have fallen and returning soldiers who have witnessed the losses of fellow comrades.

Denise said: “We can’t thank Danny and Neil enough for writing and recording a song specifically for the charity. We hope the song will provide comfort and inspiration to everyone involved directly and indirectly with Afghanistan.”

The single is available to download from itunes, Amazon, Tunecorps and many other leading music sources for just 79p, with all proceeds going directly to the charity.

A preview of the song will be available soon on the charity website www.afghanheroes.org.uk along with upcoming events and more information on the work the organisation does.
