Manx Musicians Join the Fight Against Cancer
The Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association is proud to announce the launch of its brand new ‘1 in 3’ CD as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. For the first time on one CD, the cream of Manx music has come together in a collection that showcases the startling diversity of home-grown musical talent in the Isle of Man.
“I’m very excited about this project,” said President of the Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association, Carole Cowin. “We started with a very rough idea about a CD with some local music on to help celebrate our 50th anniversary and at the same time to raise money for the ongoing fight against cancer.”
Carole added that she had been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the musicians who contributed to the album: “When we began asking people if they wanted to take part, we weren’t sure of the response we’d get. In fact, every single person involved has been incredibly supportive. Almost everyone on the album has been affected in some way by cancer – either personally or someone close to them and they wanted to do something which they felt could make a difference.”
The CD boasts tracks from Katherine Crowe, Christine Collister, Back Door Slam, Über Room, Truman Falls, Anna Goldsmith and many more.
Geoff Corkish, MHK, Chairman of the Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association explained the meaning behind the name of the CD: “We wanted a name that would catch people’s attention, and the sad fact is that one in three of us here in the Isle of Man will develop some form of cancer. I don’t think many people really understand quite how prevalent cancer is so hopefully this CD will help to raise awareness of that. But the good news is that because of advancements in medicine – advancements that are only possible due to research directly funded by charities like the Isle of Man Anti Cancer Association – cancer is no longer always a terminal disease.”
The compilation has been produced by local label Ballagroove, and their hard work and expertise has been given free of charge.
Producer Andrew Clague said “It was an honour to be asked to assist with a project to help such a worthy cause. The ’One in Three’ title really brings the message home. We’ve had great fun producing this CD, all the bands have been very willing to donate songs and give up their time, it’s been a pleasure to work on from start to finish.’
The CD, which contains 17 tracks from Manx artists, will be available on sale from shops Island-wide from Friday May 1st.
