Leader Of The Starry Skies
Remember Cardiacs? KUR-regular Sterbus alerted me to the following:
Tim Smith composer, principal songwriter, lead singer and guitarist of Cardiacs and other seminal music projects suffered a severe stroke in 2008. Two years on he continues to be treated in hospital.
A tribute album entitled Leader Of The Starry Skies – A Tribute To Tim Smith is slated for release in December:
All profits from this album will go towards a fund to help get Tim home. The artists appearing have generously given their time and creativity freely. This is a testament to the love we all have for Tim. Your pre-order will entitle you to download a free, exclusive album of Tim’s songs covered by friends and family.
If you enjoy the music of Cardiacs and wish to support a worthy cause, pre-order today, why don’t you.
