Describing their amazing musical accomplishment, The Portraits’ singer Lorraine Reilly Millington said: “We wanted to create a huge national choir by layering the voices of different crowds we played to and every person that has sung will be credited on the single.
“There are enough people with an interest in its success that reaching the charts is really achievable, and this would make a huge noise for Emma and everyone else searching for a donor!”
