Hi All!
I've just ordered this new CD and think my friends at the Mudcat Café would like to hear about it. I hope nobody minds the plug, as it is for a good cause.

HEART OF ENGLAND - CD £13.00

The album has been produced to raise funds for "THE TEENAGE CANCER TRUST" a charity that exists/aims to provide specialist units in hospitals where teenage and young cancer sufferers can "chill out" with their peers rather than be placed in children's or old peoples' wards.

Album comprises of sixteen tracks, of which twelve are either new or previously unreleased songs or tunes. 15 artists - 16 tracks. The 2nd of the two songs performed by Andy Guttridge was written by a young man, Lee Fawcett, during the last months of his own fight with cancer and has been included as a poignant reminder that there are many talented young people who are sadly struck down by this awful disease.

Featuring: Albion Band (previously unreleased live track), Martin Carthy, Vikki Clayton (previously unreleased track), Fairport Convention, Andy Guttridge(brand new track), Andy Guttridge & Martin Green, Joyce Gang, Little Johnny England, Ralph McTell (previously unreleased live track), Sandland - Beer - McAuley, Colvin Quarmby, Show of Hands (previously unreleased track),Mike Silver, Dave Swarbrick & Kevin Dempsey (previously unreleased track), Richard Thompson (previously unreleased live track), Chris While & Julie Matthews (previously unreleased track)
