Saskatchewan Rockers Support Troops CD

Canadian rock band Magic Trees - from Prince Albert in Saskatchewan - have been doing their bit to help bring some extra Christmas cheer to members of the armed forces who will be spending the festive period overseas as they have donated a song to a very special compilation CD.

"Hero 2011" has been produced by English good cases record label TTN Records and is aimed as a Christmas present to the troops and their families. The special limited edtion release is provided free of charge to Forces Support charities who then include them in Christmas parcels that are sent to Afghanistan and elsewhere and coipies are also provided to Forces broadcasting stations so that the songs can be enjoyed by all servicemen, support workers and their families.

Although it is not strictly a fund raising CD - Hero 2011 is NOT available for general sale - single copies are also provided to veterans asscociations and other good causes for them to auction off to raise funds at their own events.

Magic Trees spent the summer in Lytham St Annes in the north west of England working on their new album and met TTN Records' Paul & Lucy Breeze when they interviewed them for www.bestkeptsecrets.biz. When the Trees offered to donate a track from their debut album "Everything Is A Song", Paul immediately plumped for "My Night Sky" as the starry night sky is very evocative image and is often used by people who are far away to help them think about their loved ones back at home.
