Sunshine On Leith Cover Supports Ukrainian Kids

0:00Edinburgh's DiNepro Kids charity just dropped a fresh cover of Sunshine on Leith to celebrate 20 years of helping Ukrainian kids. Scottish and Ukrainian artists teamed up on this track, originally by the Proklaimers and a big hibernian football club anthem. All proceeds go straight to the cause, supporting orphans and war-affected children. The charity kicked off back in 2005 when Hibbs fans visited an orphanage in D&E Proper Troufsk during a UEFA match trip. Since then, they've kept the support flowing, even bringing the first Ukrainian refugees to Scotland in 2022 amid the war. Founder Steven Carr, who's got an MBE, says they're still strong after two decades, aiding kids who arrived as refugees now in education or jobs, plus. Rapping up health for those still in Ukraine. The Proklaimers gave it their full backing, too. A Ukrainian composer named Bodyn Ilnitsky, arranged it with vocals from Scottish singer Luke Love Ope and Ukrainian artist Maria Sissa.

1:01A new documentary on the charity story drops later this year, featuring the song Big Time. You can grab the digital release this Friday, May 1st, on Bandcamp or Snaga Limited Edition vinyl. It's a solid way to keep the light shining on Ukraine's needs when the headlines fade. That wraps Edinburgh news today. Brought to you with AI, I'm Cory with the Story.
