Downtown & Cool FM presenters in fine voice for Charity Christmas single
We've been keeping a rather big secret for the past couple of months! 🎶
Our presenting team at Cool FM, Downtown Radio and Downtown Country have joined forces to record their debut Christmas single and music video to promote Cash for Kids Mission Christmas appeal.
Mission Christmas’s new single “It’s Downtown Christmas” has been written and produced locally, and is set to play on air for the first time on Downtown Radio on Friday the 1st of December, in support of the annual Cash for Kids Mission Christmas appeal.
Head of Programming, Stuart Robinson added: "It was wonderful to see the collaboration across our teams, with presenters from Downtown Radio, Cool FM and Downtown Country all taking part.
"We are delighted with the finished track and hope people will enjoy hearing a new Christmas song whilst helping highlight our Mission Christmas campaign.
“Downtown has now switched its playlist to 100% Christmas music for December - so expect to hear the song all over Northern Ireland's airwaves over the next few weeks."
Downtown Radio Presenters David Coleman and Kirsty McMurray said:
"We're very excited that our idea to record a Christmas single has come to fruition. Thanks to the Cool FM and Downtown presenters, we have a fun Christmas song that supports Mission Christmas."e
Cash for Kids Charity Manager for NI, Clare McGimpsey: “We are so excited our presenters worked together to show their support for Mission Christmas.
"We know times are tight for everyone this time of year, and this year in particular, with the cost-of-living crisis, but the charity has been receiving more requests for help than ever before. That’s why we’re asking you to please give a little, if you can.
“There’s no donation too small, what may seem like a small gesture to you, can have a huge impact on another family’s Christmas.”
“It’s Downtown Christmas” will be available to stream on all music platforms!
Downtown’s switch to Christmas music can be heard across Northern Ireland by FM, DAB, by downloading the Downtown app, or asking your smart speaker to ‘play Downtown Radio’.
Listeners in Belfast, Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus and Holywood can also tune in on 103.4FM.
