Besi Besemar June 27, 2018

Former Gscene cover boy releases charity single Grenfell (We won’t fall) to mark the first anniversary of the Grenfell fire tragedy in June 2017.

SINGER-songwriter Carl Leroy, in collaboration with affected resident Liliana Martins and musician/producer Paul Rumbol from London-based Viramundo band, has released his debut single and video ‘Grenfell (We won’t fall)’ as part of a unique charity project marking the first anniversary of the Grenfell fire tragedy.

The song is an expression of Carl’s personal experience helping with the Grenfell relief efforts right after the fire and Liliana’s journey with the system and charities one year on. The song celebrates the strength and perseverance of those affected while they wait for justice.

The proceeds from this song are aimed for charities working with the Grenfell community, namely the Harrow ClubW10 and Latymer Community Church two charities that were key centres for coordinating volunteers and offering support to those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire on June 14, 2017.

The primary aim of the Harrow Club W10 is to provide local young people with accessible and high quality opportunities, enabling them to maximise their life chances and to enhance their personal development to help shape their futures to come.

Latymer Community Church’s Eden team works with local young people encouraging them to make positive life choices. In addition to this they provide a home for other local organisations to run groups and activities that benefit community members of all ages.

The song is available to download on the official website (www.grenfellsong.com), and various online platforms.
