Canada: Amazing Grace on national news

It's been on the national news in Britain, on Breakfast TV on both BBC and ITV nationally, regional TV stations and BBC Europe.

And now AudlemOnline has received the following message from Canada: "Your video was just featured on the CTV National News here in Canada. Amazing indeed! We would love to contribute. Please let us know how your cousins in Canada can help.
Much love,
Wayne and Bev Epp"

Fantastic. We have replied with the various links to iTunes and how to make donations. You can watch it here, simply click the play button (top right)

So, Canadians across the nation, the second largest on Earth, have seen Audlem singing.

And here's just one reaction: "As I was sitting on the couch, with my two year old son, our local news showed a clip of your Amazing Grace video. It brought tears to my eyes.....I rarely watch the news but am very glad I did tonight! Sending love from Barrie, ON, Canada." And that message was with a donation.

People in California have also seen the village in full voice; we've heard from Holland too while the Village Chippy's George's Uncle Kosta saw it Cyprus – it's going global.

A BBC insider also told AudlemOnline that last Saturday's 9.50am slot on Saturday's Breakfast Show is just about the best slot you can get, just before Saturday Kitchen. Some weeks there can 5million watching!

And another heart-warming story. A teacher, raised in Audlem, now teaches in a senior school in Halifax, Yorkshire. After Monday's Good Morning Britain broadcast on ITV, she mentioned it to the class, many of whom had seen the show, saying that's the village where she was brought up.

The class then dug deep and raised a very generous donation for Mend our Mum.
