North East musicians unite for East Africa charity LP
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 6 September 2011
The Futureheads, Field Music and Spokes are amongst the North Eastern rock sorts to feature on a compilation in aid of the Disaster Emergency Committee’s East Africa Crisis Appeal.
Proceeds from sales of the ‘NExEA’ LP will go directly to help those caught up in Africa’s present drought crisis, which is currently affecting over 10 million people across Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and the Republic of South Sudan.
Maximo Park man Paul Smith, who donated a solo track to the album, said this: “I saw the shocking footage from Eastern Africa on the news like many others will have done and I felt pretty helpless. I’m glad I was approached to contribute something because it’s an amazing cause. I hope my slightly dodgy demo might have enough charm to sit alongside the strong line-up of other North Eastern musicians and encourage people to buy a copy”.
