THE winner of Warrington’s talent contest The Next Big Thing has written a song to raise money for the Hillsborough Justice Campaign.

Liverpool FC fan Amy-Sue Harris has pledged to donate 85 per cent of the profit from her Justice For The 96 track to the campaign fund.

Amy-Sue, who records under the name Acoustic Ash, wrote the song on the day that Anne Williams died. She lost her son Kevin at Hillsborough.

The former Birchwood High School pupil said: “It dawned on me how sad it was that a woman had fought for justice for her son and the other 95 victims of the disaster and never saw that justice come to light.

“Aside from the fact I’m a Liverpool fan, I felt that this was something that had bound communities and football fans around the world.

“No one should go to a football game and not return. Anne is no longer here but we owe it to her and the other 95 families to fight for justice.”

Amy-Sue, from Padgate, won 10-week contest The Next Big Thing in August out of more than 70 hopefuls.

The 27-year-old was introduced to Chris Guest who owns Unlimited Productions and later approached him with the Hillsborough project.

Amy-Sue added: “Although I don’t have any personal connections with any of the 96 victims of the disaster, I have heard the stories of the victims and their families over the years.

“A friend of mine told me about two brothers he had known growing up.

“One never returned from the game that day and that is what I use as a base for the track.

“The track takes into consideration that this was someone’s brother and son – not just a number.”

The Hillsborough inquests are being held in a purpose-built court in Birchwood Park, the biggest in England and Wales.

There were four Warrington victims – Ian ‘Ronnie’ Whelan, from Padgate, David Benson, from Penketh, Colin Ashcroft, from Locking Stumps and Eric Hughes, from Callands.

Amy-Sue said: “Not only have the families had to wait for the truth to be told about that awful day and the events that took place, they have had to wait for those responsible to be held accountable “There’s no justice in a loss like this, there is no justice in 96 people not fulfilling their dreams, their journeys through life and not returning home.

“But accountability and compensation would go some way to getting closure and raising awareness to forbid this ever happening again.”
