Livewire1350 has been running from the UEA campus since 1990 and releases a charity
song each year.
Regardless of talent, members are asked to contribute their voices to a festive hit to raise money for a good cause.

This year's song is called Spread the Joy and all proceeds will be donated to Nourishing Norfolk.
It was written in collaboration with Higher Common Room Records, UEA's Music Production Society, and put together by local singer-songwriter Nik Richard and his producer Andre Weber.

George Cooke, Livewire’s station manager, said: “This year’s Christmas project is our most ambitious in a long time.
“We’re honoured to be supporting Norfolk Community Foundation this year - with the cost-of-living crisis making winter more and more difficult for families, we hope that the work we’re doing can go a small way towards spreading some festive joy, supporting our local community.”
Nik Richard said: "I’m so grateful to be given the opportunity to work with so many talented people on such a brilliant Christmas song - and all for a great cause.
"Thank you, Livewire1350, for reaching out and allowing me to lead this year’s single, it has been an honour."
Billie Lawler, the Nourishing Norfolk Network coordinator, said: “With the Nourishing Norfolk Network supporting over 8000 families (24000 people) currently, we know many of them will struggle with Christmas festivities.
"Donations of any kind go such a long way to helping those families to make a Christmas to remember - and we all need those happy moments, don't we?"
