Written by band member Virginia Kettle, 'Peace Can Be Louder Than War' is the first single to be taken from our new and soon coming album 'Rising Of The Bold'. As we recorded the song, we realised that its message required more than just our input, and so we used our social media to invite others to sing along to a sound file and then send in their own recordings. As a result, the track features contributions from what we call our '1000 Voice Choir' - which includes individuals, families, small groups of friends and like minded people, along with choirs, from around the world - including The USA and Canada, England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland, Germany, Australia and New Zealand and other contributions from 5 different continents. We also added in some live recordings taken from gigs during 2024, so our 1000 voice choir is actually many more than that. It also includes a number of broadcasters and fellow musicians, including some young friends who have enjoyed several No.1 albums. We are releasing the track on New Year's Day 2025 to express our hope that in 2025 and beyond, the voices and wishes of those who hope for peace will be louder and stronger than those who wish to profit in any way from conflict and war. As the song says, 'Some will say we’re naive' but it is our wish and we are sharing it with the world, in the hope that others will feel our spirit of hope and pass it on.
