Kirkby cabbie to swim Mersey for music project cash

Jun 26 2010

A music mad cabbie will swim the Mersey to raise some notes for charity.

Mike Upton, 44, from Kirkby wants to use the cash to set up a Music Resource Centre.

The project will mean youngsters will have a base to write, mix and record their own tracks. The team will also go into schools to teach children about the music biz.

Mike, of Hartwood Road, said: “The idea is to give kids something positive to do.

"Rather than stand around on the streets, they can come in here and learn about music and record a song.

“I was in bands myself, so know how expensive studio time is.

"This gives people the chance to get that time for free.”

Always a big for anyone who gives up there time to raise money for good causes. I hope he has a contingency plan if he swallows a jobee

It's one of the cleanest rivers in the UK now. It even has salmon in it

That's as mabe, but, seals have been known to frequent the river too

Either way I hope he's a strong swimmer cos the tide is somewhat forceful in nature. Good luck to him
