Jason Manford supporting Salisbury charity with new single
The comedian is backing the Trussell Trust
Comedian Jason Manford has released a charity single for Christmas - supporting Salisbury charity the Trussell Trust.
He's put together 'Assembly Bangers', taking inspiration from the sorts of hymns we might have sung at school as a child!
It's a download only for now, but is due to be put out on vinyl and CD in the New Year.
All the proceeds will go to the charity, which runs foodbanks across the UK.
Jason said it's all come as a surprise:
"When I first started talking about Assembly Bangers on stage I never once thought we’d get to this point of releasing an actual record! It’s nuts.
"But so many people have messaged asking me to do it so here we are. Not only am I delighted to be releasing this single but all profits will be going to The Trussell Trust; I’m a big supporter of the work they do.
"The track is a bit of nostalgic fun from our school days and if we can raise money for the charity, whilst having a laugh with the single, that would be fantastic!”
The single's been shared by other famous faces like Peter Kay and Gary Barlow.
