your help in this area. Links can be set up for
the video on your pages. |
If you like the video,
please visit Youtube and give it the 'thumbs
up'. You can support the project by telling your
friends and family by email, Facebook, etc.
Please ask them to visit the site
www.remember-poppy-day.com or search for 'Olly Wedgwood

Requesting The
Song To Be Played On The Radio |
Phone calls, letters or
emails to radio stations requesting to hear
Olly's song and to TV shows requesting live
performances would be helpful, but please do this
in a responsible manner. |
Help With Press
Releases To Newspapers, Radio & TV |
We will have a lot of
press releases to issue and need to contact
radio, TV and the press. If you are able to help
or have any good ideas or contacts, please send

us a call. If calling from the UK, the number is

a blog please provide a link to our website.
Limited parts of the poem or lyrics can be

Mailing List /
Launch Events |
We plan to have some
launch events in both Surrey and London. In most
of these we hope that you will have the
opportunity to not only see a comprehensive live
set from Olly (including the 'Remember Poppy Day
single) but also Sam's superb set.
Either live act is a treat, but the opportunity
to see both is not to be missed. Georgi
will be playing on saxophone in as many gigs as
work commitments allow and we have other great
sax players at hand if necessary. |
To be kept informed of
gigs and other news, please join our mailing
list by sending an email with your name, town
and country to
news@remember-poppy-day.com |
|
Debate & Forum |
The messages in the poem
and song are sincere and we would like to gently
encourage people to take a little time to think
about those who have made sacrifices. |
Is there a need for some
debate on the issue? Does it need some decision
makers to either encourage the break or make it
easier for those who wish to participate? If
you're in a meeting' for example, its difficult
for an individual unless someone takes an
initiative and organises a planned 2 minute
break.
In the past, radio stations on all
channels would stop to announce and observe the
2 minutes silence, which was both respectful and
also a useful reminder. |
If you would like to be
involved in this debate, we have a discussion
section on
our new Facebook pages for you to exchange ideas
and
make suggestions that would be helpful.
If you would like to suggest new discussion
topics, or you are not on Facebook, please send
an email to
info@remember-poppy-day.com |

Free Use In
Schools & Other Establishments For Educational
Purposes |
We have had a lot of
comments from teachers saying they find this
song useful in explaining to children or youths
about Remebrance Day. We are happy for the song
to be downloaded from this site free of charge
for such a purpose or for assemblies. If you
wish to recommend this to your local school,
that would be fine. We would appreciate a
mention when the song is played that it is
called 'Remember Poppy Day'.by Olly Wedgwood.
