Theo Tams Records A Charity Single For Christmas
Nov
6
Theo Tams has collaborated with singer-songwriter Ali Slaight on a Christmas charity single to help support War Child Canada for the holidays! The song is a modern version of the classic Christmas carol, “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and net proceeds from the sale of the track, until March 31, 2010, will go directly to War Child Canada. “Do You Hear What I Hear?” will be available on iTunes on November 10.
“This has always been a favourite Christmas song of mine, it holds such emotion and history, and I love it as a duet. The lyric ‘Pray for peace, people, everywhere’ really rings true. We just knew it was the perfect song to help support War Child for the holidays,” said Theo Tams on the song selection.
“The holiday season is my favourite time of year, largely because it’s a kind, forgiving and charitable occasion; the War Child cause is year round,” commented Ali Slaight. “I applaud the War Child team for their tireless efforts in bringing education and awareness to the world regarding the rights of children. I'm also delighted to have had the chance to work with my friend Theo on what to me is a holiday classic.”
Both Theo and Ali are huge supporters of War Child Canada. Ali visited Uganda this summer with War Child and Theo took part in their Busking For Change charity event earlier this year.
War Child Canada is a Canadian charity that provides assistance to war-affected children around the world. For more information about the organization, please visit www.warchild.ca.

The single is great i got it for my sister as a christmas present i just wish we didn't have an artificial christmas tree this year but last minute shopping and we had to go with it.
Wanna buy it
American fan here wanting to buy 'Little Drummer Boy' as well as the other Christmas music on Theo's MySpace page? I love Theo's voice and talent, have the CD and love it, and just want more. Can't get it on American iTunes, but would love to.
great Stuff!
Congratulations Ali and Theo! I absolutely love your version of this Christmas song......simply beautiful! Your voices blend so nicely together and compliment each other in this duet. I will most definitely be downloading this song....it's a 'win, win' situation...we get to enjoy the song AND help out War Child at the same time! How great is that?!
Perfect for the holiday season!
This has always been one of my favourite Christmas songs, and Theo and Ali have recorded a gorgeous duet of it. I hope we will be hearing a lot of it on the radio during the holidays, and it is great to see that once again this year, Theo's Christmas spirit is helping out a children's charity.
I would definitely recommend that fans of both artists as well as fans of great music pick up a copy of it and enjoy!! It's a song with great meaning behind it, and it is one that can be enjoyed by everyone.
(And okay...the Theo fan in me just has to say it. I love how his love of scarves gives that pic an added Christmassy look.)
