Haiti Child performed live by Pete Fagan and the song's writer Elaine Doonan
"From Pen to Production the focus of the "Haiti Child" Charity Song journey has been to raise as much money for the people of Haiti as possible. Equally it has demonstrated the power of working together, believing in something worth believing in and offering hope through the universal language of music"
"Haiti Child" Charity Song was written on the 26th January 2010 by Elaine Doonan, a 25 year old, full time nurse from Killarney, Co. Kerry. The inspiration for the song came from a story Elaine had heard about a 22 day old child, found alive beneath the rubble 7 days after the earthquake. The story struck a chord with Elaine as she saw it as a powerful example of how hope could be derived from such a disaster.
Pete Fagan, singer songwriter and good friend of Elaine's suggested that she write a song for an upcoming Haiti benefit night in Matt the Millers, Kilkenny. Elaine and Pete then performed Haiti Child together on the night. Prior to this, a chance performance on a local Kilkenny radio station by Pete Fagan joined by the musicians Davey Cashin, Davey Long and Tony Coy was recorded by Eddie Hughes on his iPhone which he then put on Facebook. This led to a huge response on the fan page for the song, the support for which has been overwhelming and the number of fans growing by the day. The immense reaction made everyone involved believe that Haiti Child should be recorded in a studio and released as a charity single.
With the backing of Snow Busters, a group dedicated to raising money for Haiti, this became possible. The recording took place in The Cauldron studio and The Production Suite, Dublin. The day after recording, Elaine, Pete and the gang preformed on Bandwagontv.com, creating more awareness for the song and its purpose. The record is to be released very soon and available for purchase, all proceeds of the single are going to "Haven", an organisation committed to building houses in Haiti.
