It is potentially a dream come true for local Morecambe girl Ashleigh Wood, that a song she recorded in tribute to her hometown has now been embraced by the local council to promote the seaside town as a major tourist haven. If this was not enough she has also been blessed by the fact that her version of the classic track ‘Bring Me Sunshine’, made famous by Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise, is also being featured on major TV adverts as well as a favourite of one of the key taste makers at the biggest radio station in the UK , Radio 2.
Check out ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ here:
‘Bring Me Sunshine’ has been featured on adverts for the likes of Cadbury, Nescafe and P&O Cruises and is a regular on Radio 2’s Chris Evans’ Breakfast Show. It is an instantly recognisable classic and Ashleigh effortlessly manages to capture the spirit of the song by firmly putting her own stamp on it.
Ashleigh Wood’s dedication to Morecambe and her own heritage has endeared her to the local populace and garnered her approval from BBC Radio Lancashire and other regional radio stations across the North West.
The track itself is a direct reflection of British summertime; light, sunny and full of joy. It is a perfect song to enjoy blasting through your car speakers, barbequing or simply lounging outside and making the most of the somewhat unpredictable British weather, and Ashleigh truly makes the song her own. Just try and listen to it without wanting to do the hopping routine the legendary comedians made famous on their classic shows. Summer is here and Ashleigh Wood is set to truly bring it sunshine, whatever the weather.
Bring Me Sunshine will be available from August 24th.
