X-Factor is great, but do we really need it to be Christmas number one every year? Why not spend our money on great music made by the people, with the profits going to the people. Christmas is all about children and, bearing this in mind, the profits from the single will go to the Neo Natal Unit at the National Maternity Hospital in Holles Street Hospital, AKA “Unit 8.”
Organiser, Brenda Drumm, said, ‘I had an idea to record a Christmas charity single through Twitter – using contacts, singers etc from our Twitter streams. And now we have a stylist, a studio, a videographer, a PR person, some TV presenters and personalities and a very willing and wonderful group of people or tweeps from Twitter to do the singing and organising.’

Hi Asker in Dublin,
Twitter was the tool used in gathering people and resources. This will give the single an edge in the media coverage but, yes of course anyone can go.
