Bangor Comrades have now announced all the artists who appear on their Comradiation digital album ‘ Abbey Road’ to be released on Friday, 3 December.
The project aims to raise funds for the city’s Abbey Road Centre, a mental health resource and drop-in Centre which the Comrades have supported before through the sale of their unique branded football shirts.
The release date is a ‘Bandcamp Friday’ where the platform waives its fees, meaning that 100% of money paid on the day will go straight to the Centre. The digital album features fourteen tracks, some of which have been recorded especially for the project. It will cost £10. Here’s a who’s who –
Hen Wlad Fy Mamau – Spin-off project from legendary Welsh band Yr Anrhefn.
Cane Toads – Veteran Bangor trio playing fiery blues and roots, who’ve kept their edge throughout a distinguished career.
