50 Miss England 2016
finalists including Miss Southport and Miss Liverpool hope to have a Xmas Chart
Hit
THE current Miss Southport "Chloe
Brown" and Miss Liverpool "Molly McEntee Morrist" where
both finalists in Miss England 2016, which is the National Final before Miss
World. Both young ladies are featured in fellow finalist Rheo Parnell's
forthcoming music video for an internationally distributed Charity Christmas
single called:- "Our World."
The music video for the track was directed by award winning director Jack Van
Spall from Mountain Pictures and was filmed in a variety of diverse locations
across the Country. 1 of the locations featured 55 Miss England Finalists
sporting shiny gold cat suits, made all the more sparkly on the hottest day of
the year in July.
The song "Our World" was produced by Big Help Music, who is the
leading Artist Development, Management and Recording Company, based in the UK,
and was written by professional songwriter and former:- "That's Life" crew member, Michael Groth. The song was originally written for
internationally acclaimed band U2, but it was never used on their album.
"Our World" tells the extremely pertinent story of growing environmental
breakdown, of the increasing extremes in weather and climate, and of social and
political unrest on the planet. The song calls for the human race to work
together in these difficult times.
The
proceeds from "Our World" will raise money for the Miss England
and Miss World, affiliated charity:- "Beauty with a Purpose." The
charity works to improve the lives of sick, disabled and disadvantaged children
throughout the UK and worldwide. Funds raised through:- "Beauty with a
Purpose" are re-invested in the Towns and communities who raised them.
The star of the song Rheo Parnell, who holds the title of Miss Coventry and
Warwickshire, has been performing the song at Miss England events throughout the
UK.
Big Help Record Company boss, Dutch Van Spall said:- "This is by far one
of the most ambitious videos we have ever made. Having access to all 55 Miss
England Finalists added some spectacular images and all of the girls have been
incredibly supportive throughout the production process, which has had its
challenges. We are very proud of the finished product and we hope it is well
received by the British public. We have yet to see how successful we will be in
the charts and we are realistic enough to realize we are up against some of the
fiercest competition of the year. However, that is not our main aim. Raising
awareness and funds for Beauty with a Purpose is the present we are hoping for
this Christmas!"
You can check out the video on YouTube (above) and
order your copy of "Our World" from Itunes, Rheo will be promoting
at the official launch of the single, on the Miss England stand, at The Clothes
Show, NEC Birmingham, on Friday, 2 December 2016, along with 2 previous Miss
England winners - Doctor Carina Tyrrell and Natasha Hemmings. They will both be
dressed as 'Golden Girls' in the gold jumpsuits worn by all the
Miss England 2016 finalists, in Southport, Merseyside.
