After the disastrous events occurring in Christchurch last week, (of which I offer my sincere condolences to all those affected), I was invited to a recent fund-raising event on Facebook, arranged by Paul Fawcett, a man who, like many others, felt helpless as the event took place, being stuck at work or home miles and miles away.

I was thrilled to learn of a new project, allowing musicians, producers, singers/songwriters to donate material neccessary for a charity compilation in aid for all those affected by the quake.

The compilation will be hosted online here, in which listeners can donate whatever they wish in order to download the tracks. 50% of donations go to the Red Cross Appeal, with the other 50% going to the Christchurch Salvation Army.

With such a huge response already, I feel this project is a highly meaningful and well thought out idea. The compilation is due for release this Friday, where any artists still wishing to donate tracks should contact: djsh...@gmail.com
