AMY'S SONG WRITTEN BY HER COUSIN BEVERLEY O SULLIVAN

Amy's cousin Beverley is looking to re-release a song she believes will help the search Amy.

Beverley co-wrote the song 'Rainbow' which is being adapted to portray the heartbreak of amy's Family.

Beverley had a close relationship with her younger cousin when Amy was growing up in Clare Hall in Dublin before Amy went to live in Spain with her us.

Beverley hopes that her song will help keep the search alive in people's minds and also raise funds to continue the campaign to find Amy and other missing youngsters. The Song was one of Amy's Favourite Songs and the lyrics capture exactly what we are experiencing at this time.
The song has been adapted for a new release. The beat and the backing vocals have been removed and the adding of strings makes the song even more poignant and beautiful.
Beverley hopes the campaign to promote the song, including the CD cover and promotion posters, will help keep Amy in the minds and hearts of as many people as possible and to keep her search in the spotlight

"Amy was a mini-me in some ways because she was always singing and dancing. She was so excited when I started up in a band. She loved playing 'Rainbow"

We need between 6000 and 8000 euro to have the cd produced and we are hoping someone somewhere will help us to get it produced for Amy.
