Family's Les Mis lockdown song goes global
The video has had over 9 million views!
A family of six from Kent have found fame after their rendition of a Les Mis track went viral on Facebook and even saw them appear on This Morning. The Marsh family from Kent got together to perform their own version of 'One Day More' with adapted lyrics including "not long until the data's blown" and "watch our daddy drink, see our mummy sigh".

Uploaded by dad Ben Marsh, the video was initially intended to cheer up friends and family members but had over 400,000 views on its first day alone and has since racked up over nine million views from all over the world.
In response, Ben has added a plea for donations to the World Health Organisation's COVID-19 Solidarity Fund and are pledging any revenue they make to the charity too.
Speaking about the success that he's experienced alongside wife Danielle and children Alfie, 13, Thomas, 12, Ella, 10, and Tess, 8, Ben said: "It pulled on all the experiences people had been complaining about- like not being able to work or play football - and it just seemed to fit really well with the song"
"We really weren't expecting the success and we are really touched by the way it has resonated with people. Hopefully it will give parents an idea of how to keep the kids occupied - besides from doing Joe Wicks or watching Netflix"
The family have also made public an adapted performance of a Tangled track with lyrics also based on the current pandemic.

As a result, the family have raised nearly £5,000 for charity and many, many more smiles.
