This is a departure from my normal fundraising for Bowel Cancer UK. Everyone who knows me, will know all about my obsession for my favourite band The Alarm. Lead singer Mike Peters has been living with leukemia for over 20 years, and is a co-founder of the Love Hope Strength Foundation, whose purpose is to raise funds and awareness in order to benefit people with leukemia and cancer. It is now the world’s leading rock and roll cancer foundation.
I have been looking at a way to support the charity, and I have decided that releasing music would be a good starting point. My ultimate dream would to get professional musicians to record a song I’ve written, but that’s for the future.
To begin I have released a four track digital EP of songs by our band The Majority. I’m In The Mood… It costs £1.79 from the online shop and after the website fees all proceeds will be donated to LHS.
The Majority took its name from a classic Alarm song, and we were a performing five piece band in the mid 1980s. The line-up was Tim (guitar), Ad (drums), Stu (keyboards), Rich (bass), and Lewis (vocals). We are all still friends, and there have even been some best man roles at weddings. Towards the end of the 1990s myself and Ad starting recording new and old songs on a Tascam 4-track Portastudio, and this EP has songs from those recordings. They have been touched up on my BOSS digital multi-track recorder in recent times. If there is enough support for this EP, then the next release will be something completely new.
