A NEW version of classic track ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ by Morecambe-born singer Ashleigh Wood has been chosen by Lancashire County Council to promote the town this summer.

Ashleigh’s take on the song made famous by Morecambe and Wise will be used on the authority’s website, social media and shared across various local tourist sites.

It is an instantly recognisable classic and Ashleigh effortlessly manages to capture the spirit of the song by firmly putting her own stamp on it.

Ashleigh’s dedication to Morecambe and her own heritage has garnered her approval from BBC Radio Lancashire and other regional radio stations across the North West.

Ashleigh was invited to sing ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ at the Eric Morecambe Tribute Dinner at the Globe Arena, the home of Morecambe FC.

The audience and organisers were so impressed by her performance that she has been invited to sing the track again at Morecambe FC’s opening game.

‘Bring Me Sunshine will be available from August 24th’.
