Song for Leigh Gives Back to Community
from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!
A powerful new track “Song for Leigh” exploded at a massive homecoming show, born from songwriting workshops that united young creatives from Leigh to share their dreams. Frontman Thom Rylance praised the raw talent in working-class communities and the magic of empowering kids who’d never stepped into a studio. Students from local schools and Spirix Youth Theatre co-wrote lyrics and performed alongside Lottery Winners, all under the vision of Amy Hodgson. The accompanying music video celebrates their artistry, funded by Down to Earth and Arts Council England. And here’s the kicker: every penny from the song goes to the Gill David Trust, a local charity helping kids chase their creative dreams — a full-circle moment of community uplift.
