Radio Interview with Darren Harte on HFM 30th September 2020:

I did my first ever live radio interview last week with Darren Harte on HFM Radio, which is based in Leicestershire. The chat about the Goodbye Farewell EP came about after we were put in touch by Melissa Webster, whose husband Steve sings on track 3 of the release.

It was a great opportunity to talk in depth about the release and the fundraising, bowel cancer and life in general during these uncertain times in 2020. Darren kindly played Steve’s version of Goodbye Farewell at the end of the interview, followed by a track by The Alarm. Check out Darren’s show each Wednesday evening from 9-11 at https://harboroughfm.co.uk

The Goodbye Farewell EP has four versions of the song recorded by different artists. Carol Hodge, KirbyWalsh, Steve Webster and Jason Bradley / Mike Dlugozima. Every one involved gave up their time to be involved in the project, and the end result is quite brilliant. All profits raised are donated to Bowel Cancer UK. The EP is available on CD and digital download exclusively from rivers2cross.com.

The EP is dedicated to Kelly Smith, who sadly died in June aged just 31. She featured in my charity book released last year called The Record. Kelly told me her story, and she was always helping others and raising awareness about bowel cancer, and trying to prevent others going through what she was. She also wrote the quite wonderful foreword for the book. Kelly was one of life’s brightest shining lights, a beautiful soul inside and out, and an amazing inspiration to many x
