Accies-supporting Musician Boosts Player’s Movember Efforts with Festive Record
Hamilton Academical football player, Reghan Tumilty, has received support for his Movember fundraising campaign from a dedicated fan and talented musician. Iona Sky, a supporter of the Accies, is the lead singer of the band After You. Together, they have released a four-track Christmas EP, with all proceeds from the limited-edition CD going towards Tumilty’s annual fundraiser in aid of men’s health.
Sky and her bandmate, Alasdair Napier, collaborated with Tumilty to help raise funds, aiming to surpass his previous fundraising total of over £2000. The footballer, known for growing a moustache throughout November, has been actively involved in raising awareness and funds for men’s health issues. The EP includes popular Christmas tracks such as Kelly Clarkson’s “Underneath the Tree,” “Just Like Christmas,” “Last Christmas,” and “Christmas on the Road.”
Iona Sky, an 18-year-old music student at New College Lanarkshire, expressed her excitement in supporting Tumilty’s Movember appeal. The EP, available both digitally and on signed CDs, is a lively collection of festive tunes dedicated to a good cause. The band’s lead track, “Underneath the Tree,” has already gained significant traction on YouTube, and the limited CDs can be purchased for £5 through their social media platforms.
After a successful debut performance supporting Hue and Cry last year, After You continues to capture audiences with their performances at various events and festivals. The duo plans to release new material in the coming year and is set to perform at a fundraising concert at Paisley Abbey in support of the charity Rainbow Valley. Additionally, they look forward to a future performance at Hamilton Accies.
Reghan Tumilty’s commitment to raising awareness for men’s health issues, including mental health, prostate and testicular cancer, has garnered support from fans, friends, and online donors. Over the years, Tumilty has explored various avenues to boost his fundraising, such as organizing a 10k run, auctions, and engaging in charity events. His dedication and contributions towards important health causes have been widely appreciated by the football community.
In conclusion, the collaborative efforts between Iona Sky, After You, and Reghan Tumilty demonstrate the power of music and sports in driving positive change and supporting essential causes.
