Laura Aston: Event "Remember Me" Doing It For Libby (21 April 2018)

Aston performed at The Crown Inn, Catshill, at 8.30pm on Saturday, April 21 to raise funds for Libby Mae’s Little Angels.

As well as singing her own music and a number of covers, those who attend Laura’s concert were privileged to hear her brand new single ‘Remember Me’, recorded especially for the charity to mark what would have been Libby Mae’s fifth birthday.

Both Laura and the charity hoped for at least 8,000 copies to be sold in order for the song to make it to the charts.

Charlotte and Rich urged the people of Bromsgrove (#doingitforlibby) to get behind the charity, the night at The Crown and the single.

They set up the charity to provide support to hospitals and since then, have raised over £250,000 for 18 neonatal units across the Midlands. (Source: Bromsgrove Standard)
