Just to let you know that the new CQB CD - HOPE SO - is finally finished and during the month of October it's being sold on a not-for-profit basis for only £3 (worldwide), with at least £1 of each sale going to OXFAM. You can order it now & it will be sent out in October to coincide with OXJAM.
Please give it a look and listen on the Crazy Quilt Bouquet page where there are also a couple of tracks from the CD.
If you're feeling very generous, supportive, loving, encouraging, facilitating and amenable you could even pass this information on. It really would be appreciated. I will gladly reciprocate with any information that you wish to share.
And, of course, if you're feeling suitably benevolent, moved, solvent, click-happy, adventurous, or just willing to give it a go – you could always treat yourself!
There's also a slightly desperate, somewhat nerdy and unnecessarily needy press release for you to peruse on the blog...
