In November 2006, Chris Walmsley was hit by a car just outside Douglas in the Isle of Man. It rendered him brain damaged, quadriplegic and incontinent, leaving his parents to care for him totally.

The past years have been very difficult for the whole family, but there is hope. Some businesses and many musicians on the Island have been raising money for private stem cell treatment to which he is responding in a remarkable way.

Last week Small Bear Records released Keep it covered, a digital album featuring 23 Isle of Man artists who have covered songs by other Isle of Man artists!

Simon’s offering is a track by Chris Gray. Apart from programming the drums, he sang and played everything.

Please support this amazing campaign by buying this track for a mere 50 pence (around 80 cents), or for a real bargain, splash out £5 (around $8) on the whole album. There are some great tracks on there: can you guess our favourites?
