In the South West alone, there are over 1000 children with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. Children's Hospice South West was started to help these children and their families.

They opened the doors of their first hospice, Little Bridge House in Barnstaple, in 1995. As the only children's hospice in the South West, they support over 200 children and their families. They offer them respite, relaxation, friendship and a sense of community. They can share the 24-hour care of a very sick child and support the family in bereavement.

The demands on Little Bridge House had increased to the extent that there was a vital need for a second children's hospice but they needed  help to raise the £15 million needed to build, equip and endow it with initial running costs. A staggering £11.5 million, made up entirely of voluntary donations, has been raised since May 2004.  Now, thanks to the help of thousands of supporters across the South West, including Friends Groups, businesses and the general public, as well as the dedicated staff at CHSW their new hospice 'Charlton Farm' near Bristol, is to welcome it's first families on 30th April 2007.

What was once the dream of Eddie Farwell and his late wife Jill has now been turned into reality.

Another hospice will mean CHSW can instantly double their provision and offer more choice to families so that they can remain close to home or take a complete break away from the area in which they live. Now, with two hospices to run at CHSW, it means they can help twice the number of families but it also means that they need to find twice as much money each year for running costs.

CHSW needs your help to continue to provide their wonderful services for up to 400 families each and every year and it is hoped that the sales of this very special "KN21" music album will help to raise funds towards their continued success.

In 1993 sisters Keedie and Nadine Babb, then at the tender ages of eleven and ten, began performing live pop music in venues all over Devon. The name they chose for their act was "KN21" being their initials and combined ages at that time. Also, Keedie and Nadine were born on the 21st day of different months. 

At the age of thirteen Keedie also started entering and winning talent shows and at the age of sixteen, after winning one of the biggest talent shows in Britain, she was signed to a major record company as a popular artist.

About this time Keedie discovered that she could naturally sing operatic music so she sought out a vocal coach to develop this natural talent. On hearing Keedie, operatic vocal coach Isabell Morrow stated, "Keedie has the greatest natural operatic voice I have ever encountered". Since then Keedie has toured Europe with a 50-piece orchestra, played at prestigious venues such as The Royal Albert Hall and Blenheim Palace and released a single record 'I Believe My Heart' which went to number 2 in the pop charts. More chart success soon followed for Keedie after she released her stunning classical/pop album 'I Believe My Heart' which soon reached number 4 in the Classical Music Charts. 

"KN21" contains nostalgic hit songs from the 1960s that Keedie and Nadine sang and recorded (fantastically well!!)  in 1993 when they were 10 & 11 years of age and also two stunning 'Bonus' tracks by Keedie which she recorded in 2005.  Both these tracks, 'Would I Know' (original track penned by Diane Warren) and 'Nessun Dorma' are recordings that can only be found on this charity CD.
