Peace Not War CD

A double-album of pro-peace / anti-war songs has been organised by the Stop the War Coalition, who mobilised over 400,000 people to demonstrate in London on September 28th. All proceeds will go to the Coalition and to equivalent organisations in other countries. The CDs are available in shops, and also can be sold by peaceful anti-war groups around the world to raise funds for their local campaigns.

"Peace Not War" is a diverse collection of songs from different genres and cultures. Signed and unsigned artists feature alongside each other, with over 50 bands already committed. Lyrics and streaming audio will be freely available on the website as they are gathered. Mass protest is making a difference and we believe musicians can inform and motivate people to stop the war. A leaflet is available here (NB this is large, so recommended for broadband only).
