Jim rehearses the singers for the song “We Will Remember Them” at Abbey Road.
“This was the most rewarding production experience of my career. It was both inspiring and exhilarating. We had only ten hours to do it all but we were blessed by talented, dedicated artists from Classical, Pop, Rock and Military music backgrounds and they came together for one magnificent day.”
On Sunday 1st November 200 people spilled into Abbey Road Studios, donating their time and talent to record an Anthem as a Thank You to all our Military personnel. “Help for Heroes” spokesman Major Phil Packer, was invited to speak to the artists about his work for the charity.
