Enlisted to provide vocals on the track is Ruby Joy, 20, a talented up-and-coming singer-songwriter.

All the particpants in the Cold Bath Road project have previous ‘form’.

Vince Brown, who first met Will Jackson at Harrogate’s Bluestrike studios in the 1980s, was behind a hugely successful Teletubbies song while Ruby’s dad was in much-loved local groups Zoot and the Roots and The Blueflies which many Harrogate music fans will remember.

Ruby’s mum is the link with Vince and Jojo.

Vince said: “We have all been touched in some way by the devastating impact of Covid.
