Show The Children We Care, Written by Pete Perry
Written By Pete Perry and sung by Switchboard Incorporated, this is the title track to a compilation album of the same name. Today, with The West posturing over attacking Syria, it is particularly poignant. Pete co-produced the recording with John Culpin of Bubbles Recording Studio, Letchworth. Pete wants this, and other MOTF songs to be re-recorded, with Pete on lead vocals, and, hopefully, with Lucy-Sian and Mandy, to include in 'The Family Album' - a collection of classic MOTF songs. Can you help?
John Lennon Lived Here - Chesney Hawkes
Taken from Chesney Hawkes' latest album 'Real Life Love', this is a particularly poignant song.
A Helmet and a Cross
Written by Rhett Davis, and dedicated to all soldiers that have fallen in wartime, this is a very poignant song, inspired by old photographs and distant memories. See notes on the right.
Prayer
This beautiful song, composed by Mike James and Rhett Davis, has been dedicated by them to Len 'Chip' Hawkes

About the Recordings:

SHOW THE CHILDREN WE CARE

The title song to a charity compilation album of the same name, the whole song came to Pete Perry in a dream. He got together some local musicians, Lucy-Sian & Mandy Clark, and Steve Charles, called them 'Switchboard Incorporated' after the music mag he was publishing at the time, took them along to Bubbles Recording Studios in Letchworth, where he and John Culpin produced this song. Pete and Ray Cordell can be heard singing Frère Jacques at the end of the record, in schoolboy voices! It is Pete's daughter Deborah's favourite song.

Now Pete intends to re-record it, together with other Family songs, and with Pete on main vocals.

TODAY, WITH THE WEST ON THE POINT OF ATTACKING SYRIA, IT IS PARTICULARLY POIGNANT

GRANDMA'S TEA PARTY: Pete Perry and some pals from Star Now were invited to make fools of themselves for this funny video about a bunch of OAPs who have a tea party and end up with a food fight, not to mention a duel between Pete and Peter Burrows, using walking sticks instead of swords!

A GREAT SONG AND A VERY HUMOROUS VIDEO.
