Smash hit tour That’ll Be The Day has teamed up with Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent: All Stars finalist Tom Ball to release a brand-new charity album, Make A Wish Come True, in support of Make-A-Wish UK.
Celebrating forty years on tour, this special anniversary album honours the legacy of That’ll Be The Day, which has already raised over £500,000 for Make-A-Wish through post-show collections.
Packed with classic hits and an original single featuring Tom Ball’s powerhouse vocals, Make A Wish Come True is now available to pre-order, with the single set to be released for download soon.
For four decades, That’ll Be The Day has thrilled audiences nationwide with its tribute to iconic songwriters and performers. From 1950s rock ‘n’ roll to 1980s anthems, the album brings together the timeless tracks that have made the show a fan favourite.
Tom Ball, who has achieved eleven No.1 global chart rankings and over 140 million online views, will also join That’ll Be The Day for a special Ruby Anniversary performance at the London Palladium in February.
Tom Ball said, “I’m thrilled to be part of That’ll Be The Day’s brand new charity single, Make A Wish Come True, supporting Make-A-Wish. It’s a beautiful, heartfelt song that captures the spirit of hope and joy, and I’m truly honoured to play a part in something that will mean so much to so many families.”
The single also features vocals from children whose wish was to sing on a record, perfectly capturing the mission of Make-A-Wish UK.
All proceeds from Make A Wish Come True will go directly to Make-A-Wish UK. Over the years, That’ll Be The Day has raised over £1 million for charities including Childline, Help for Heroes, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, and the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal.
Trevor Payne, director, producer and performer for That’ll Be The Day, said, “That’ll Be The Day has been collecting contributions from our fans for Make-A-Wish for just over ten years, raising over £500,000 from after-show bucket collections. We are excited to be releasing a collection of our favourite tracks from over the years. Included in the album is the song written especially for this wonderful charity. It will feature the extraordinary voice of Tom Ball (Britain’s Got Talent). The song is Make A Wish Come True and features some of the children who have had their wish come true – singing on the track.”
Make A Wish Come True is available to preorder now.
