James Bulger Charity
CD Single hits the shops
When James was murdered in Liverpool by two schoolboys in 1993, Michael Jackson’s music was played at his funeral. Since that time his mother, Denise, has worked hard to help provide education for children who are bullied at school.
Denise and her husband attended the official charity ball launch in Kirkby Civic Suite, Liverpool, where the Bulief Charity Single CD was available containing a cover version of Michael Jackson’s ‘Heal The World’.
Michael Jackson donated the song to our charity for the specific purpose of this appeal, which raised £10,000 that night.
The event was attended by the families of other murdered children, including Rhys Jones, Francesca Bimpson and Sarah Payne.
BULIEF consists of 16 of merseysides most talented recording artists and entertainers.
After appearing at the James Bulger House Chairty gala evening all the acts decided to team together to create a cover version of one of James' favourite songs 'Heal the world', even at the young age of two James was a huge Micheal Jackson fan, and so it felt right that we sing a song he loved in dedication to him.
The release of BULIEF'S cover version of'Heal The World', was aimed to be released as a small scale charity single, not only in rememberance of James but as a way to gain funding for JBH. Micheal Jackson had given permission for this single to be recorded early may before his sudden death.He was a close follower of the James Bulger case, sending mesages of condolance to Jame's mother Denise at the time of his abduction.
Now the single not only represents a memory of James but now also to his favorite pop star.
With the help of people throughout merseyside and spanning the globe, The profile of the James Bulger House charity has expanded immencely, and thanks to funding from generous donators we are exchanging the small scale release to a full UK one.
This means that from 2nd November 2009 you can purchase 'Bulief - Heal the world' in Tescos, HMV and is also available as a full UK digital download via iTunes or HMV.
