echoes in the alleyway :: a tribute to doves

Echoes In The Alleyway: A Tribute To Doves is now taking shape. I have got 12 tracks for it at the moment.  Expecting to finish with around 18 tracks.

As expected a few artists dropped out. Though sadly the group who were going to do House Of Mirrors have split up! Considering the album title it would be cool to have that track on it. If there is anyone who wants to do this track and can do it by the end of the month then do get in touch. But no biggy otherwise.

Extended deadline closes September 20th. Expect the website to be updated with info on the artists taking part over the coming weeks.

Release date has been pushed back a couple weeks to October 18th which is now set in stone. Look forward to it!

Delighted to announce the charity that will benefit from the Echoes In The Alleyway A Tribute to Doves project.

When the idea was first discussed after a Doves gig in April, I wasn’t sure about it to be honest. My first question (of many!) was what would be the point?

Today the Teenage Cancer Trust confirmed their involvement with the project. Whilst all downloads will be free, we (everybody involved with putting this together) will be ask that you consider making a donation to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Donations are voluntary. You will be able to donate using our page at the TCT website, where we will be able to track how much is raised. Our fundraising target is a rather modest £500. But of course if we can make more that would be fantastic. Album is still on course for a early October release. More news soon!

The album is starting to come together rather quickly now. Have received a number of tracks already, and let me tell you that genuinely the quality is fantastic. All the artists are putting in a great deal of time and effort making this project happen. Thank you!  We still have just over a month before deadline, so plenty of time if you have not submitted your track yet.

Looking at putting the album out October 4th. All downloads will be free, but I will be putting up a link to a charity where you can make a donation at their website, hoping that we can track how much we raise.

Soon you will be able to read about the artists taking part. I’ve had a few latecomers, if you are reading and still want to take part you can, just get in contact with me using the email address at the bottom of the site. I have around 25 tracks, give or take how ever many drop out. Deadline for submitting the music is September 1st. If you are reading and think you may not make the deadline, get in touch and we should be able to work something out. Otherwise I will be in touch with all artists late August.
