A Wigan musician will have one of his songs featured in a new short film about the life of a truly extraordinary man. Rik Jones, from Newtown, spoke of his honour at having Walk A Mile In My Shoes selected for the soundtrack of new production 7 Days. The film is about the inspirational exploits of Dave Heeley, a Birmingham father-of-three who in 2008 became the first blind person to complete a gruelling challenge of doing seven marathons spread across the continents on seven successive days.

Thanks very much Jo anne for the lovely comment,  and putting Riks song up

I've seen him a couple of times in the Doc's place and the Central Bar, he's always good and has a big following,

Well done to Rik. Hope he goes far.

I like that song and his guitar playing too.

It's a yes from me.

"It was also great to finally meet Wigan based singer-song writer, Rik Jones. Rik, who is also blind, wrote and performed the final song in our film. It’s a very touching and beautiful song and was a natural fit for our film because the lyrics mirrored Dave’s story perfectly"

Rik’s song, Walk A Mile In My Shoes is taken from his album The Hotel With No Name and is available on iTunes.  Check it out, he’s a very talented guy!

He really enjoyed the premiere night, and met some lovely people

Just listened to this, Dave Heeley praised Rik for his song [6.56] "Walk a mile in my shoes"
