Phil and Evie Goodman's new song is called 'Christmas Crackers' and they hope to raise money for AGE UK and Shelter.

They have managed to raise £800 for AGE UK so far, with their video being viewed 11k times on Facebook already!

The song is about enjoying spending time with friends and family rather than spending excessive amounts on food and gifts.

Phil told Bucks Radio the story behind the lyrics and why they chose AGE UK as their named charity :

"It's a song of two halves really - it's what bugs me about Christmas, and what I love about Christmas!

The heart of the song is the middle where is changes to having a moan to being more positive, the heart of that is really nobody should be alone on Christmas Day. It struck a chord for old and lonely people and AGE UK were certainly one of those [who helps]"

14 year old Evie, who studies music at GCSE level, and song writes songs herself, told us how special working with her dad was:

"I learnt about my dads past in music and it made me want to continue his legacy. When he cam to me about the Christmas song, because he has been helping me with my songs I thought it would be nice to do one together."

Here are all the links to the song, you can play, stream and download it for free, every play of the song goes to the charities.
