Poppy Millhouse and her dad Paul from Swanwick have written and produced a festive song called ‘It’s Christmas’ to help raise funds and awareness for When You Wish Upon a Star, A charity dedicated to granting the Wishes of children living with life threatening illnesses.

Paul 44 said: “She’s a little superstar. I was rally nervous about her going in thinking she was going to get shy but she was straight into the sound booth singing her socks off.”

As well as helping to write the lyrics, Poppy has also created a six-strong girl band with her friends, called Unicorn Style.Poppy and her dad wrote the song earlier this year when she came up with the idea for the B side Oscar the Doggy. “She wrote down lots of Christmas related words and we put the song down in the studio,” said Paul. “I got the lads in my old band Pump Car to come out of retirement to do the backing music. Poppy’s friends joined in on the chorus and it was great fun for everyone. When you Wish Upon a star is a great charity.”
