New single in aid of Marie Curie
Press release published
Scottish singer/ songwriter Dean Owens will release a new single - Julie's Moon, on Friday 10 March with all proceeds donated to Marie Curie.
In September 2015 Dean’s sister Julie age 50, died from cancer. Julie was a huge supporter of her brother and his music. Written very shortly after her death, Julie’s Moon is one of Dean’s most personal songs.
The single release has been timed to coincide with the Great Daffodil Appeal, the charity's biggest annual fundraising appeal.
Dean said: This is a song I wouldn't have chosen to write due to the circumstances, but when it came to me I knew I had to just go with it. My sister was a big fan of my music so it seems only appropriate that she now has her own song, and I’m delighted if it can do some good in raising awareness and funds for the work of the Marie Curie charity.
Julie’s Moon was recorded with Dean’s Whisky Hearts band (former Silencers/Simple Minds drummer Jim McDermott, trad musicians Amy Geddes and Brian McAlpine, guitarist Craig Ross and Mike McCann on bass).
A spokesperson from Marie Curie said: “We are delighted that Dean has offered to release this beautiful song to support Marie Curie’s work”
