SpudBros, known for their unique blend of culinary creativity and entertainment, are set to enter the 2025 Christmas Number 1 race with their new track, “Brighter Than The Night.” The song features collaboration with Vicky McClure’s Our Dementia Choir, highlighting a mission close to the hearts of SpudBros founders, Jacob and Harley.
About the Collaboration
The song was recorded at Metropolis Studios and mixed at the famed Abbey Road Studios. Huw Roberts, a member of SpudBros, performs alongside members of Our Dementia Choir, creating a poignant tribute to those affected by dementia.
This partnership is particularly significant for Jacob and Harley, as their own grandmother lives with dementia. The song aims not only to entertain but also to spread joy during the festive season.
Unique Fundraising Initiative
In conjunction with the single’s release, SpudBros have introduced a limited edition product, the SpudX® Festive Spud. For every spud sold, £1 will be donated to Our Dementia Choir.
- Release Date: Friday, December 12, 2024
- Campaign Origin: Inspired by a viral video featuring a heartfelt moment with an elderly couple.
What They Are Saying
Jacob and Harley expressed their amazement at the journey from their humble beginnings to this significant project: “We still can’t believe how far this has come from two lads in a tram in Preston.”
Vicky McClure also shared her enthusiasm: “I’m so excited SpudBros have teamed up with Our Dementia Choir. The song is heartfelt and everyone involved is on the same mission to help people live well with dementia through music.”
