The Christmas Number 1 Campaign
The race is on: The Games Maker Choir featuring Alistair Griffin has launched their song I Wish For You The World to the press in an attempt to top the charts this Christmas!
It is now available on Amazon and iTunes.
Overlooking the London Eye and Westminster Palace from the top floor of the Royal Festival Hall, we Pandemonium Drummers lent our support to the Games Maker Choir again, this time welcoming journalists and media representatives in our blue bowler hat outfits.
Neatly lined up in front of the stage, we then provided the groove for the dramatic entry of the Games Maker Choir.
We also took the opportunity to make photographic wishes in support of the song - see the gallery on Facebook.
(no signup required, just close the signup window if prompted)
And we still hope to feature in the official music video!
Introduced by prominent TV presenter Jake Humphrey, the Games Maker Choir and Alistair Griffin then presented their song - twice, upon request, and the second time, they were joined by the athletes of Team GB's women rowing team, who were enjoying themselves immensely both on- and off-stage.
The choir and the athletes then mingled with the media crowd, gave interviews and had numerous pictures taken - some of them with us drummers, who provided some extra lighting with the bulbs on our hats.
Alistair Griffin talked about the journey to get the song off the ground, which included huge efforts in the background to get various Olympic and Paralympic committees on board.
After waving the Union Jack on stage, Alistair then became an honorary Olympic Closing Ceremony marshal by trying out one of our lightbulb bowler hats.
But the real stars of the evening were obviously the members of the Games Maker Choir, so here is our plea:
