WELL THE GIG WAS CANCELLED BUT THEY CAN’T PULL THE CD!!
We are all now well aware of the devastation the June floods had on our fair city of Kingston upon Hull.. The loss of life, the £300 million pound repair bill, the years of disruption to peoples lives.
From now, let's think about rebuilding a great future for Hull, and let's spread some good vibes!
To make our release eligible for sale in HMV and therefore enter into the indie charts, a record company had to be formed. On 7th September 2007 NOW Records was born.
We called it NOW as our event was planned to make people forget about the past for a little while, and we hoped our good vibes would spread some good seeds for the future.
NOW also fits the speed over 60 bands offered their creative talents to support our flooded city with the power of music.
NOW also describes the way the people got behind Hull Flood Aid. Your messages of support have being encouraging.
NOW is not a word known to councillors and the like. It also seems quite unfamilar to alot of businesses to!
Sometimes you have to act fast, sometimes somethings have to be done NOW.
Therefore our first release is a collection of songs from the finest musicians in and around our fair city who dedicated their time to Hull Flood Aid, and the great event that was meant to take place on 09/09/07.
Ranging from the mellow vibes of Harri Watts to the satirical folk of Shirley Higton. Rock classics from U2OPIA to the slinky grooves of imbalance. From the psychedelic The Last People on Earth to the wild The Paddingtons.
This CD is one you will listen to again and again.
ALL profits raised from Hull Flood Aid will be donated to Hull CVS
