Star calls in to hospice as band says it will donate album cash to help kids

Jonny Yerrell, frontman with Rotherham band The Reytons, called in at Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice in Anston.

The band are supporting the well-known hospice by donating cash from the sale of the limited edition ‘pop up’ version of their new album, A Love Letter To A Broken Town, out next month.

They will give £5 from every ‘pop up’ record sold to Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice.

The Reytons’ Facebook said said: “Rather than releasing with a well known exclusive record store… We have decided to support a very important local charity close to our hearts, in the heart of Rotherham.

“We are proud to present this extremely limited edition ‘Pop Up’ record featuring a beautiful illustration of the town where our story began. Inspired by Roald Dahl, this super rare record features a premium smokey pastel vinyl.

“£5 from every record sold will go directly to Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, helping them to continue their amazing work to support children and their families.

“This one’s very special.”

A delighted Bluebell Wood said on Facebook: “We had a special visit today from Jonny Yerrell, singer of The Reytons, ahead of their announcement this evening that £5 from every Pop Up Gatefold version of the band’s new album sold will be donated to Bluebell Wood.

“How amazing is that! What an incredible way to support the children and families we care for.”

Jonny Yerrell said: “Bluebell Wood is a place that is very close to my heart.

“Our work with our own foundation is built on creating opportunities for local people.

“The care that Bluebell Wood provides is inspirational and deserves all our love and support.”

The new album is available to pre-order now.
