Cosham Singer-songwriter to release song on World Mental Health Day to support suicide awareness
Cosham singer-songwiter, Richard 'Ricky' Palmer is releasing his version of 'You've got a friend' on World Mental Health Day (October 10).
Ricky is releasing a song on World Mental Health Day to raise awareness of suicide prevention. Any proceeds from the sale of the single will be used to support local charitable organisation Let's Get Talking About Suicide.
Suicide prevention is close to the performer's heart, and he said: "I am a suicide survivor myself and was 'saved' on 7th January by my dear friend, Anita, who simply asked me when I last picked up my guitar. This one comment led to me finding music again and saved my life. I hope my song can react out to someone who is in need and maybe save them."
The track, You've Got a Friend, is a cover version of the 1970s Carole King classic. Richard has worked with several local musicians to produce the single. The song will be released on Shine4u Records, a local record label run by Richard Palmer.
It will be distributed worldwide on all major digital platforms on October 10.
