Some fellow songwriters made fast friends with songwriter and artist James Bradley at the CD Baby Conference in Nashville in August. Sadly, just weeks later, James and his family in Northern Ireland lost his 8 year old son Daniel in a tragic accident. Daniel was autistic and an inspiration to his family and everyone who knew him. We decided to put on this show as a stand of support and love for the Bradley family as well as to raise funds for FACTS- Families with Autism Coming Together for Support

They are a registered charity in Northern Ireland and provide local support for families with these very special children in their care.
