The Music Man Project, an international music education charity for people with learning disabilities, has teamed up with The Royal Marines Band to create the Christmas single Music Is Magic – with all proceeds going to help support learning-disabled people across the UK. David Stanley, who founded the Music Man Project in 2000 in Sir David’s constituency of Southend West, believes the charity single is a fitting tribute to the former MP who was involved with the charity for more than 20 years and became its president. And he really believed in them.” In 2019, Sir David helped the Music Man Project organise an event in which 200 children with learning disabilities played at the Royal Albert Hall in front of a crowd of 3,000 people. Everyone at the Royal Marines Band Service looks forward to creating magic this Christmas with The Music Man Project.” Music Is Magic is being distributed by records label AMG Global and will be released on December 16 to download and stream on all major digital music stores and streaming services.
