HIGH Street Honey Tanya Robinson launched her bid for musical stardom last night with a concert in front of soldiers and their families.

The 24-year-old founder member of all-girl group Mrs Robinson, performed alongside her band mates at Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire.

The concert was also broadcast online to troops serving in Iraq and around the world.

Tanya, from Richmond, is the daughter of an Army major. She shot to fame after winning a competition to find Britain's sexiest girl next door.

She has now written a song called Don't Forget My Name as a tribute to soldiers who go off to war and leave their families behind.

The song has been dedicated to the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF), the Army's national charity.

The single was released as a free download from the ABF's website yesterday. People downloading the single are encouraged to give a donation to the charity in return for the track.

Mrs Robinson will perform a further two concerts tonight and tomorrow at Colchester and Aldershot Garrisons.

Major General Sir Evelyn Webb-Carter, controller of the ABF, said: "We hope that, through downloads of Don't Forget My Name a significant sum of money will be raised for our charity."

Tanya added: "I have lived the Army life since I was three weeks old and I have had a brilliant upbringing thanks to the Army. However, there was and still is a downside.

"Every time my dad went away on his six-month tours, I used to have nightmares every night. Fortunately, for me, those horrific nightmares never came true, but for some people they did.

"I hope that when people download our single they will make a donation to the ABF so that the charity can help these people in their hour of need."
