ON SALE 15TH APRIL
Phil Hayes of the Picket was asked by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Steve Rotheram, to put together an appropriate musical tribute to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
The project has the full support of Liverpool City Council, Liverpool Football Club, Hillsborough Family Support Group and the former players association 'Liverpool Legends'.
They have produced a recording of 'Fields of Athenry', (Peter St. John) featuring Liverpool Musicians - John Pow
er, Peter Hooton, Mick Head, Nick Kilroe and Robert Taylor, former Liverpool FC players, members of the Hillsborough Familes and others. (The Kop Choir) As I'm sure you know the song in its adapted form 'Fields of Anfield Road' has become a real favourite at Anfield.
On the CD are songs by Pete Wylie, Elvis Costello and James Walsh from Starsailor.
The aim was to put out a record which every Liverpool fan will empathise with and will see as a respectful commemoration of the 20th anniversary.
Any money raised will be given to the Hillsborough Family Support Group.
The CD will be released on 6th April via Itunes and will also be available in LFC club shops.
The 20th Anniversary of the Hillsborough is on 15th April 2009 when a number of other tributes are taking place across the Liverpool.
