On the 18th September 2013 Smile Ambassadors 'The Overtones' travelled to an Operation Smile medical project in Ruhengeri, Rwanda to join a team of international volunteers. Lachie, Timmy, Darren, Mark and Mike offered their support to help make the dream of an operation come true for children born with cleft lips and palates. We asked The Overtones about their time in Rwanda and discovered what impact this has had on their lives.
Fresh from the recent success of their third consecutive Top 5 album, 'Saturday Night At The Movies', five piece vocal harmony group The Overtones have teamed up with Operation Smile to release a festive version of the 1954 Nat King Cole classic 'Smile' to raise money for the international cleft lip and palate charity.
Heal's - the home of modern, designer and contemporary furniture, lighting and homewares since 1810... and now home to paul.a.young's fourth shop. Somewhere that you can sit and watch the world go by whilst indulging - nay deservedly enjoying - a mug of 'real' hot chocolate, whilst eating a decadent Marmite brownie. Oooh, did we say Marmite brownie? You'll either love it or you'll hate it! Luckily for those who don't like Marmite there is a lovely selection of more agreeable flavours but we would urge you to at least try the brownie because you may be pleasantly surprised.
