The band also visited Newcastle on Sunday 29th August to do a signing at Beyond Vinyl and then performed at the Noughty 90’s festival at Leazes Park, Newcastle the same evening.

Beyond Records also released a version of the East 17 classic “Stay Another Day” Christmas 2020 to raise money and awareness for the “BATTEN DISEASE FAMILY ASSOCIATION” (http://www. bdfa-uk.org.uk/). Now David McGovern from Beyond Records has released their album physically and also performed the song on stage with them at Leazes Park, Newcastle. David said “I can’t believe how the last year has panned out, from releasing my version of “Stay Another Day” to help raise some much needed funds & awareness for this amazing charity, releasing East 17’s new album on CD and even getting to perform the track with the guys on stage in my home town. The crowd were amazing and the reception was out of this world. Now I’ve got the nerves out of the way I would do it again in a heartbeat!”

Terry Coldwell from East 17 said

“What David did for the BDFA was amazing and we supported him on Instagram and social media and getting his cover of our track to No. 2 in the Official Physical Singles charts as well as raising money for charity which was special. We had to get David up to perform our single ‘Stay Another Day’ when we were in Newcastle and I have to tell you, me and the guys were impressed. It takes some guts to get up in front of a dedicated crowd at a 90’s festival and sing any song, let alone a song that is loved so much by millions of people around the world. Well done bro” This has all led to David working with us to get the album out on Limited Edition CD”

East 17 was founded in 1991 and now consists of original member Terry Coldwell, Robbie Craig (Artful Dodger fame) & Joe Livermore. From Walthamstow, East London, East 17 performed pop-rock, dance-pop, hip hop and rap.

In 90’ they were one of the most popular boy bands in the UK — the band sold over 22 million records all over the world and their songs remained at the top of all the music charts for over 6 years in a row.
