Great track! Well done to the Royal Mail choir and Joe for doing this and I hope it raises lots of money.

What a fantastic young man Joe is - does so much for charity - really hope this does well and that the British public get behind it.

If they can get a stupid campaign to No 1 surely something like this can get the same backing.

Thanks for posting the link Dyanna - I found myself getting quite emotional listening to this

Apparently the Royal Mail Choir were due to record with a couple of the producers of Joe's Classic and Classic Christmas albums and they suggested getting him involved

If you get a chance to hear him live do so - honestly you won't be disapponted. I've brought people along and they've been genuinely gobsmacked!

Lovely interview with Pop Prince (Kevin Hughes) - read and listen - Joe talks about Abide With Me, songwriting, album 5, going on the road over the summer with his band and a 4 day bicycle ride to raise funds for TCT

Will probably buy it as it's going towards a good cause, the song's awful though. Don't like music like that.

Joe put his stamp on a classic tune. This time, he delivers.

Tell that to the huge crowd at every FA Cup Final since time immemorial! Abide With Me is always sung on that occasion.

Hiya jackbell *waves*

Must admit it's not my usual cup of tea but this arrangement has really grown on me and I love Joe's voice anyway. Do hope you're going to download the track though for such an important cause.

I wonder if there's any chance of Joe and the Royal Mail Choir performing this at the FA Cup Final

*blows a kiss*

I don't do downloading and, like I say, I didn't enjoy it. I'm happy to to make a donation though.

I look forward to more music from Joe in the future.

But no hymns.
