Pictured above: Tom and Carrie on Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince premiere

Today, Tom finally revealed one of his secret projects. He had been recording a song for 2012 Olympic mascot with his sister, Carrie, and West Leigh Junior School Choir.
The song-called On A Rainbow-was actually released on September 9th, but apparently no one told them about it. Ha.

Anyway, we have actually posted about possible Olympic song on February.
You could read the post here, in which I linked this article about West Leigh school choir ‘might be’ recording Olympic song with McFly.

The single is available on UK iTunes HERE for £0.99. You could also listen to the preview (about 1:30 long, it includes Tom’s part) on that iTunes link. Otherwise, go to iTunes store and search for “official London 2012 mascot song”

According to Bucksherald.co.uk, Harry Judd has voiced his support to keep Jardines bowling alley open.

MCFLY have added some star power to the campaign to save Jardines bowling alley.

Drummer Harry Judd said he regularly uses the bowling alley in Aylesbury with his girlfriend’s brother Rupert.
Rupert, 33, suffered brain damage in a car crash aged 18.

“Rupert uses Jardines every week, it’s a big part of his life and something he really loves it,” said Harry.
“A lot of people from the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust use it.
“I back the campaign to keep Jardines open 100 per cent.”
A planning application has been submitted to turn Jardines into a shop. A Bucks Herald petition against the plans attracted more than 1,000 signatures.

You might remember reading Tom’s tweet about him taping for The Cube. Well, Tom’s episode on The Cube will air this Saturday June 11 at 8.40pm on ITV. He participated to help raises fund for The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT). You might have known that Izzy teamed up with BIRT to create Eyes Alight, a charity to raise over £100,000 which will be used (by BIRT) to pay for those special extras for people who are benefiting from its brain injury services.

I posted the press release below for those who want to know more about BIRT and Eyes Alight.

Press release

McFly’s Tom Fletcher raises money for BIRT on ITV’s the Cube

Leading brain injury charity, The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT) has been informed that McFly front man Tom Fletcher will appear this Saturday June 11 at 8.40pm on ITV’s, celebrity version of The Cube and has pledged to raise money for BIRT. Any funds raised will go directly towards their newly launched ‘Eyes Alight’ appeal. Hosted by Philip Schofield, the game show challenges celebrities to raise money for their chosen charities, by attempting often daunting and difficult tasks.

BIRT teamed up with Izzy Johnston, Escala violinist and girlfriend of McFly’s Harry Judd; to create the Eyes Alight appeal. The charity hopes to raise over £100,000 which BIRT will use to pay for those special extras for people who are benefitting from its brain injury services. This could be anything from going to see a favourite football team play, to enjoying a trip to the theatre or ballet or going to see a favourite musician/celebrity. It’s the special things that will give something to look forward to and will say ‘keep going you can do this’ whilst are following BIRT’s neuro-rehabilitation programmes.

BIRT, currently celebrating 20 years of excellence in brain injury rehabilitation, offers services throughout the UK, to over 550 service users each year. Its aim is to help people regain the skills lost as a result of brain injury – whether caused by road accident, assault, stroke or illness. The Trust’s clinical expertise, combined with excellent facilities and a dedication to care, gives each individual the best possible chance of rehabilitation following an acquired brain injury. Lynn Turley, Service Director of BIRT, said:

‘It goes without saying that BIRT is utterly thrilled that Tom will be raising money for BIRT on the Cube, we can’t wait to watch this Saturday to find out how well he does, we’re all rooting for him and anything he does will be of enormous benefit to BIRT and the Eyes Alight campaign’

Rupert Johnston, Izzy’s brother currently lives at BIRT’s specialist centre Kent House in Aylesbury, was the inspiration behind the appeal. Rupert and the Johnstons’ lives were turned upside down after Rupert was involved in a road accident and sustained life-changing brain injuries.

Mirror posted this rather “interesting” article.
Apparently, McFLY has put Harry’s rear end on their tour all access passes. Hahaha. Seriously lads?

McFly put Harry’s butt on their access all areas tour passes
By Clemmie Moodie; Sarah Tetteh 21/10/2010

Poor Harry – he’s always the butt of McFly’s jokes.

The boys put a pic of his rear end on their access all areas tour passes, so managers walked round Shepherd’s Bush Empire with his bum round their necks. Cl-ass!

As Dougie’s girlfriend, Frankie Sandford, sang along from the crowd, they debuted rockier material from new album Before The Noise, including singles Shine a Light and Party Girl.

Nice revamp, boys – especially you, Harry.
