THE FISHWIVES Choir - including Newlyn singer Hannah Pascoe - have been told they could be Christmas number one!
The group of wives and daughters of fishermen, many of whom have lost loved ones at sea, formed the choir to raise funds for the Fishermen’s Mission.
The group have been contacted by a producer at the BBC Radio One chart show to say that they are one of the acts in contention.
Hannah said: “What we need is everyone to start downloading the single from iTunes after December 16 to be in with a chance! We need Cornwall to get behind us!”
The double A side - featuring the fishing song When The Boat Comes In and the hymn Eternal Father - is currently 20 to one to be Christmas number one with betting firm Coral.
