"Dawn and I were asked to write a song about Teesdale for the children of the Dale to sing and this is it," says John D. Lewis.

Proud parents of more than 200 children watched as their youngsters threw their hearts and souls into the project.

They learned the song in their own schools, some with less than 20 pupils, and then came together for "The Big Sing".

"I decided that the song captures a major part of our son's earliest years and decided to include it on the album," says John, smiling as he adds: "That MAY be self-indulgent, but it's MY album."
