SONGS FROM THE NEIGHBOURHOOD – CD LAUNCH.


A 20 track Charity CD in aid of Pendleside Hospice and Derian House Children’s Hospice by artists and musicians with local connections who have donated their time and talent to create –

‘SONGS FROM THE NEIGHBOURHOOD’
Artists include:
Simon Webbe Sam Hird The Hollies Ellie Lawson
Big Picture The Milltown Brothers Slack Alice





The initial idea was born out of an informal chat between local artist and songwriter Mark Nelson and singer and media specialist Bruce Thomas. Having been involved in the local music scene for some years, and sharing the same love of music, they discussed the possibility of covering some Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young songs, just for fun…or better still, in aid of charity.
Pendleside Hospice and Derian House Children’s Hospice were suggested as deserving local causes.
Christina Cope, the Hospice Fundraising Manager loved the novel idea.
Local filmmaker, Stephen Rigg, was recruited, who in turn contacted the legendary Burnley born Hollies drummer, Bobby Elliott.
‘Our House’, written by Bobby’s friend and former band mate, Graham Nash was the obvious choice and the perfect lead track for the album.
Bob contacted Graham at his Los Angeles home and asked if it was OK for a bunch of Pendle musicians to record his song.
“I would be honoured if they recorded any of my songs” Graham replied.
And so Bobby Elliott on drums, along with lead singer Bruce Thomas, Danny Handley on lead guitar and vocals, Barney Williams: keyboards, Mark Caffrey: bass, Chris ‘Biff’ Hartley: guitar and backing vocals, Mark Nelson on acoustic guitar and Ged Lynch adding percussion, came together as one band – BIG PICTURE.
Peter Gabriel’s engineer, Mark Jones kindly produced ‘Our House’ and track two: Mark Nelson’s composition ‘Summer’ at MJM Recording studios, Blackburn.
Bobby sent the finished mix of ‘Our House’ to Graham who replied as follows:
“It feels so good to see that music does indeed change peoples lives… and a nice record it is!

I just noticed that the photo - which is different from the one in Bernard's link - isn't in my post. Sorry! I've tried but I can't get it to copy...and it was my reason for re-peating info, in the first place. Again, sorry...
