Over the years Ive been fortunate enough to work with many of the best musicians in the industry and it occurred to me that one song I wrote some years ago, LovePower and Peace, had been recorded by many of those talents.

I mentioned to a friend that I was planning to mix the song featuring all those artists, and he suggested making it a sharing single. It was so obviously a great idea that my enthusiasm was shared by everyone I approached. As I invited each artist to join Damage Limitation, they would suggest others that they thought would love to be involvedfor example, Pete Thompson (Robin Trower Band) introduced Pete Haycock (Climax Blues Band) who brought in John Fiddler (Medicine Head) who has just got Dom Brown (Duran Duran) involved.

Now we have over 50 fabulously talented artists on what has grown into a 20 track CDso far!

So this has become a labour of love not only for me, but for all of the great artists involved. Everyone has commented that they feel honoured to be working with such fabulous musicians for such deserving causes.

LovePower & Peace Robin George.

Below is an extract from the article by John Ogden (Express and Star) to give you an idea of what's going on. 

The Damage Limitation project began with a conversation in the Andalucian mountain village in which Robin George now has his home.
Robin explained, Over the years many artists have recorded my song, LovePower and Peace and I was telling a friend that one day I'd like to do a mix featuring them all.

It started as a single, then grew to an EP then as more and more artists joined the cause, they started contacting fellow musicians and now its a double album.

With 21st Century technology, geographical distance is no barrier.

Its amazing, says Robin.. A couple of weeks ago I recorded  drummers Charlie Morgan in Nashville, whos played with Elton John and Kate Bush, Chris Slade of AC/DC and Damage Control in Los Angeles,  Pete Thompson in Dallas, who's with Robin Trower...

There were also tracks winging their way in from John Fiddler in Arizona, Pete Haycock in Germany, Conny Bloom of Hanoi Rocks in Sweden plus Ken Hensley from Uriah Heep and Eddie Clarke of Motor Head sent tracks from Spain and Londonall in the same week.

He adds, Pete Thompson put me in touch with Pete Haycock from The Climax Blues Band whose superb slide guitar is a major feature of the album. He put me in contact with John Fiddler from Medicine Head, whos just sung a fabulous rendition of Seven Golden Daffodills, and brought in Dom Browm from Duran and Morgan Fisher from Mott the Hoople.
 

Robin also flew to England at the weekend to produce a massive vocal recording session featuring Pete Way of UFO, Daniel Boone, Jaki Graham, Marshall Law, Spike and the Quireboys, Vix from Fuzzbox and Emmerdales Freya Copeland.

There are 20 fantastic songs featuring 42 artists and counting! All are written or co- written by Robin, except for Daffodils and a beautiful Phil Lynott track.
 

The power behind the whole project is the desire of all the artists to put something back.

The number of people wanting to take part is a huge tribute to Robin. Featuring on the album are, amongst so many others, genius bassist Pino Palladino, Ruby Turner, John Wetton of Asia, the late great David Byron, Pete Goalby of Uriah Heep, the late Kex Gorin of Magnum, Jacqui Williams of M People and Sean Harris of Diamond Head.

Robin has also worked with Thin Lizzy, Robert Plant, David Byron, Roy Wood Carl Palmer and Don Airey and Plant and Ted Nugent have recorded his songs.
