Congratulations to everyone invoved in Tiny Dancer - A Song for Lily Mae. It is number two in the Irish Music Charts for Christmas 2012, just pipped to the post by X Factor winner James Arthur.



A veritable galaxy of Irish stars joined the 300 people to make the song happen. Participants included  Liam Ó Maonlaí, Mary Black, Declan O’Rourke, Mary Coughlan, Paddy Casey, Mundy, John Spillane, Steve and Joe Wall, Gamma Hayes, Julie Feeney, Camille O’Sullivan, Briana Corrigan, Kian McSweeney, Gari Deegan, Richie Hayes, Conor Quinn, Sara Lou, Mickey Joe Harte, Peter Doran, Aoife Scott, Laura Sheeran, Ashley Tubridy, The Pale, The Reverse, Kila, Preacher’s Son, Arrow in the Sky, Naymedici, and from London’s West End, Aoife Mulholland, Niall Sheehy, Rob Vickers and Killian Donnelly.

As we have mentioned previously, four year old Lily-Mae Morrison from Claregalway is suffering from Stage 4 Neuroblastoma, a rare and extremely aggressive childhood cancer of the nervous system. She is the daughter of professional ballet dancers, Judith Sibley and Leighton Morrison. When she grows up, she wants to be a ballet dancer like her Mummy and Daddy but Neuroblastoma is not playing nicely, it wants to kill her.

She likes the colour purple and dinosaurs, and particularly likes purple dinosaurs. She also likes fairies and, more often than not, imagines herself as one. She would like to ‘magic’ the pain away but there’s no magic in the real world and as a trainee fairy, she finds this a little bit confusing.
