Maddox Jones “can’t believe” he’s in the running for Christmas number one.
The singer/songwriter teamed up with Gordon Hill – aka The Wealdstone Raider – on a charity World Cup single, ‘We’re All Here Together (Go England)’, and with England doing well in the tournament, the track has stuck a chord with fans and they’re hoping to contend for the prestigious slot at the top of the festive charts as a result.
Maddox said: “I can’t believe any of it! To be in the running with names like The Pogues, Taylor Swift, Kate Bush, Mariah Carey, Ed Sheeran, and Elton John feels like something out of a dream.
“I just feel so proud of how well the team has been playing at this tournament, and I hope that people who listen to my music feel the same way. Go England!”
Maddox previously explained he wanted the song to “celebrate and promote togetherness”.
He said: "Football brings everyone together, especially big tournaments like the World Cup.
"England is a diverse nation and I want this charity single to celebrate and promote togetherness and the diverse culture of England.
"More than ever we need to show solidarity and love, let’s all be friends and support each other and the team through this World Cup...
"It has plenty of echos of your football terrace anthem and is uplifting without trying to compete in the direction of New Order or The Lightning Seeds offerings."
An accompanying video has been created by award-winning producer/director Robert Nek or Loud Vision.
Proceeds from the track will benefit Wealdstone FC Youth and Rockin' Roadrunner, a club run with and for adults with disabilities.
