In September last year a band from Salesian School, Chertsey, The Boscos, released a single to celebrate the bicentenary of Don Bosco and almost a year later we are happy to report that sales of the single exceeded 1,000 and that the single made it into the Amazon top 10 sales chart as well as number 3 on their 'Movers and Shakers' chart.

Particular interest for the single came from Brazil, Italy, India, Spain and Poland. In fact, 'Rome Reports' featured a short news item on the single!

Messages of congratulations came from Alfie Joey - Radio Presenter, Comedian, Actor; Paolo Mitton the Italian film director; Hannah Croft of Croft and Pearce; and Julie Etchingham, the ITN News Presenter.

The whole experience was unreal and we would like to thank everyone who supported our effort to mark 200 years of Don Bosco.
