Short review:
A fantastic idea in aid of a fantastic cause. All this and you don't have to listen to a whinning pop star or Z list celeb telling us why we should support what they are doing.
No, this is a genuine 100% piece of direct action, straight to the Adet School in Ethiopia. Buy this and you will have done some genuine help and not made massaged a over sized ego of a single rock star.
All profits from the sale of this CD will be given to WorldVision UK (www.worldvision.org.uk). For more information about Brass Band Aid to go www.brassbandaid.com.
