Story

Our only child, Jamie Scott, died by suicide aged 17, five years ago this year.

Since his loss we have worked to help prevent other young suicides, and to support PAPYRUS, the national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide.

My friend Pete Cooke and I, 'just the dust', have written and recorded an album in Jamie's memory, called 'beautiful shining perfect boy'.

There will also be a concert on April 7th at 2.00 pm at The Musician in Leicester.

You can listen to it on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/2ZDxRJdswkNuLkIaUS7COU?si=pkFH-9ZWSg-ywh0OW6gtOQ

You can download it or buy a CD from Bandcamp: https://justthedust.bandcamp.com/album/beautiful-shining-perfect-boy?from=fanpub_fnb

All proceeds to Papyrus.
