Top bands come together for The Cake Sale

Here's a CD you should get your grubby mitts on ASAP.... Singers and artists from top bands like Snow Patrol, The Thrills, Bell X1, The Divine Comedy and The Cardigans - as well as solo artists like Damien Rice - have come together with Oxfam Ireland to make a 9-song CD album on Oxfam Records.

The band and album are called The Cake Sale, and all profits from album sales will go to support Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign. The project was the brainchild of Brian Crosby from Bell X1 (who we went on tour with earlier this year).

You can listen to songs from The Cake Sale on their MySpace page or on their official website. Their website also has a load of tasty fairtrade cake recipes, so you can bake delicious winter treats - and help Make Trade Fair at the same time.

The album is released in Ireland today - and you can order a copy online from Road Records.
