Cai releases last recording as a boy treble - 4 December
Thirteen-year-old Cai Thomas marks the end of his treble career by presenting two special digital recordings: ‘Wherever You Are’ which was recorded before the UK went into its second lockdown to raise money for a children’s brain tumour charity in memory of his fellow school pupil, and ‘Walking in the Air’.
Cai's back! This time with a crowdfunding campaign to record a charity single
Cai has launched a crowdfunding campaign to record the song ‘Wherever You Are’ by the renowned Welsh composer Paul Mealor – who composed music for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding in 2011 – to raise money for brain tumour charity Robbie’s Rehab. Read on to get involved….
