Gary Go song 'The Heart Balloon' helps the BHF
Singer-songwriter
Gary Go released a new song 'The Heart Balloon' to help raise funds
for our fight against heart
disease.
Gary made the track available to download for
FREE on a pay-whatever-you-want basis, with
100% of all voluntary donations going directly to
support our vital lifesaving work.
Anyone who donated towards the download went into a special
prize draw to win fantastic exclusive Gary Go goodies.
Gary has been supporting music royalty Take
That and Lady Gaga on tour this summer,
and has been referred to by Q magazine as a "One
Man Coldplay".
'The Heart Balloon' is no longer
available to download.
The story behind 'The Heart Balloon'
Gary got the idea for the song when he saw a heart-shaped
balloon (pictured right) tangled in a tree outside his house.
Being a self confessed hopeless romantic, he put a picture of it
on his Twitter feed and kept fans updated with its
progress.
After suggesting he write a song about it, Gary asked his
Twitter followers to tweet song lyric ideas to him about the
balloon - and the rest is history.
The release of 'The Heart Balloon' coincides with Gary's
appearance at V Festival this weekend (22-23
August), where he will perform the song alongside previous
singles 'Wonderful', 'Open
Arms' and 'Engines'.
Peter Hollins, Chief Executive of the BHF,
said: "We're really grateful to Gary, both for the donations which
will be coming to us, and for raising the awareness of heart
disease being the biggest cause of deaths in the UK, very many of
which could be avoided."
