Children of the World Choir |
A 20 track CD featuring a mind-blowing 42 artists from the world of rock, pop and soul;
Produced by Robin George, with so much more than a little help from his friends.
· Whose lives haven’t
been touched by cancer or heart disease?
· Who could refuse children who need help for the
chance of a better life?
· Or even abandoned animals the opportunity of a
better existence?
Certainly all the incredible talents involved with Damage Limitation want to give something to this wonderful cause,
· for all the right reasons…
· something for nothing!
How rare in these days of take all.
Together we can make a difference. Can we count you in?
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.’ He suggested doing it for charity.’
’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 it’s a double
album.’ With 21st Century technology, geographical distance is no barrier.
’It’s amazing,’ says Robin.. “A couple of weeks ago I recorded
Chris Slade of AC/DC and Damage Control drumming
in Los Angeles, Charlie Morgan in Nashville,
who’s played with Elton John and
Kate Bush, Pete Thompson in Dallas, who's with
Robin Trower...There were also tracks winging their way in from Conny Bloom of
Hanoi Rocks in Sweden plus Ken Hensley from Uriah Heep and Eddie Clarke of MotorHead sent tracks from Spain…all in the same week.’
He adds, ‘Pete Thompson put me in touch with Pete Haycock from The Climax Blues Band and ELO whose superb slide guitar is a major feature of the album. He put me in contact with John Fiddler from Medicine Head, who’s just sung a fabulous rendition of Seven Golden Daffodils.’
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 Emmerdale’s 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 charities that will benefit have been chosen by the Damage Limitation artists and are causes close to the hearts of those involved.
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.
A few of the artists have suggested forming the ultimate super group. ‘I'd be
interested in that.’ Robin smiled. It’s
years since I've been on a major tour and I think it’s time to get back out
there, especially for a cause as fabulous as this.’
