Listen to ‘Brave’, featuring Laura Wright and The Royal Marines Corps of Drums

Emily Fiddy • June 22, 2018

With just a week to go until our new album, ‘Remember’, is out and after such a fabulous response to ‘The Poppy Red’, we’re delighted to announce that you can also now listen to ‘Brave’ on Spotify!:  https://open.spotify.com/track/5SWtt9a74fUsdIvNhPeIwk

As our album tells the story of women in the military both then and now, ‘Brave’ looks to commemorate the World War I anniversary through the eyes of women in the military community in 2018. Co-written by and featuring the fabu lous soprano  Laura Wright , the song was inspired by words from our network and is a celebration of the strength of our choir members every day – we are thrilled to have Laura’s support! The track is also accompanied by the fantastic  The Bands of HM Royal Marines (Official)  Corps of Drums who we are delighted to have on board.

We really hope you enjoy listening to it, and roll on next Friday when all 12 tracks will be released to the world!

Letter from His Majesty The King with thanks for 'November Sunday'

November 8, 2024
We are delighted to have received a letter of thanks from The King, expressing his appreciation for our new single, ‘November Sunday’, a song presented as an early birthday gift to celebrate His Majesty’s forthcoming birthday on 14th November. In the letter, The King said: “I am writing to express my warmest possible gratitude for your very kind early birthday present, in the form of your new single, ‘November Sunday’. While those of us of a certain age may feel the need for any such birthday celebrations is in inverse proportion to our advancing years, I am none the less deeply touched by your wonderfully thoughtful tribute. “I also wanted to thank you for your steadfast support not only for your loved ones serving in our Military, who sacrifice so much time away from you and your families to protect us, but also for one another. “Having sung in a choir myself when I was at school, I know the joy of performing together can create close-knit friendships and support groups, and I remain a firm believer that music has a unique power to unite and inspire us all. My wife joins me in sending you all our blessings and kindest wishes.” ‘November Sunday’, released on 1st November, is a tribute to His Majesty and reflects the strong ties between the Royal Family and the Armed Forces. The song’s evocative lyrics reflect the joy brought to post-war Britain on 14th November 1948, marking the birth of the future King and celebrating the enduring bond with his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.  The piece was recorded by 100 singers from the Military Wives Choirs, drawn from the network in the UK and overseas, alongside the magnificent sounds of The Band of the Household Cavalry. With music and lyrics by John McLaren, the track brings together the nostalgia of the 1940s, enhanced by the artistry of platinum-selling producer Sean Hargreaves (Sigala, Paloma Faith, Ella Eyre) and arranger Steve Turner. This cross-genre production offers both the formality of a military ensemble and a bright, pop-influenced appeal. ‘November Sunday’ is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube: all links to the project can be found here .
