DeeCeeDee is a musical collective led by songwriter Mike Fairbairn, who are getting the party started with a fun, uplifting, pop, birthday classic (to be). DeeCeeDee have collaborated with hit music producer Andy Whitmore (Eternal, Peter Andre) and international singer Andrea Dee, to create the new single “Hey, Hey, It’s Your Birthday!!”.
DeeCeeDee felt it was time to give people a birthday song, that wasn’t dull and dreary, that actually made people feel like celebrating their birthday! And what a time to celebrate with the lifting of lockdown across the UK.
The story of DeeCeeDee’s birthday song goes way back to the 1990s, when Mike met musician and fellow nurse, Colin Tyrie, whilst working at an AIDS hospital. Mike and Colin became close friends and they wrote the song’s melody together on a summer holiday in France. Since 2000, they have both been dedicating their lives to their NHS careers and families, and the song was left in the vaults.
That is until, nearly 20 years later, Mike learnt that Colin had become severely disabled due to a life-limiting illness. In addition, one of Colin’s daughters was severely disabled with cerebral palsy. To add to their woes, Colin and his wife had paid £200,000 to a builder to construct a specially adapted home to accommodate their disabilities, only for the builder to run off with all their money.
Please see Colin's GoFundMe link if you think you could help him somehow get his family home built.
