Tony Christie is perhaps best known for his hit (Is This The Way To) Amarillo, but this July he’s encouraging us all to sing our hearts out as part of a mass singalong paying tribute to the UK’s hard-working carers.
The singer has recorded a version of ‘Thank You For Being A Friend’, on behalf of Music For Dementia, alongside a host of famous musicians, a small orchestra from Manchester Camerata - the UKs most relentlessly pioneering orchestra and global leader in music and dementia - and five specially selected carers, representing Britain’s army of unsung heroes.
The song will form the centrepiece of this year’s Thank You Day celebrations on July 2, as organisers call on the nation to get together in their communities for a singalong and to say a special thank you to someone who has made a difference to them.
This year, the day will focus on carers after a poll commissioned for Thank You Day found that Britain’s army of carers are the UK’s most under thanked group.
