A COVER version of the anthem ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ that has been recorded to raise money for the Bradford Burns Unit will be played at Valley Parade tomorrow.
The track, which features stars such as the Chuckle Brothers, Billy Pearce and Black Lace’s Dene Michael, will be released on download sites on May 11 – the anniversary of the fire disaster.
It will be played to the crowd at Bradford City’s League One clash with Barnsley. tomorrow.
Nigel Hunter, a driving force behind putting the recording together, said: “It would be lovely to raise thousands (of pounds) for the burns unit. All the money from sales is going straight to the burns unit."
“And we would love it to get to the top of the charts.”
The idea for the charity tune came from lifelong Bradford City fan Lloyd Spencer.
Fellow City fan Mr Hunter, 44, said of the track: “I am extremely proud of it. It sounds really good.
“The artists have gone way over what we expected and gave their time for free as well.
“I am ecstatic. It’s been a bit of a hard slog, but definitely worth it.”
Mr Hunter added: “I want to say thank you to everybody involved. Tim Walker for producing it, and all the artists – Dene Michael, Clive Jackson, Owen Paul, Billy Shears, Billy Pearce, the Chuckle Brothers, Flint Bedrock, Rick Wild, Danny Tetley, The Aim, Tom and Dom from Bantams Banter, and all the local musicians on it.”
