Description:
The Cake Sale is a band featuring a loose and expansive collective of musicians and writers who have combined to create a 9-song CD of the same name. All profits from the album go to support Oxfam`s Make Trade Fair campaign and their overseas program work. Recorded in Dublin last year, the bones of The Cake Sale`s tracks were laid down by Bell X1 duo Crosby and Paul Noonan along with Crowded House bassist Nick Seymour and drummer Graham Hopkins. All songs were previously unreleased and recorded specifically for The Cake Sale project with all publishing royalties being donated by their writers. Lead vocals were provided from Snow Patrol`s Gary Lightbody, Glen Hansard (The Frames / Once the film), Nina Persson (The Cardigans), Gemma Hayes, and Josh Ritter among others. The song "All The Way Down" written by Glen Hansard and subsequently appearing on the soundtrack of indie movie hit Once, now features vocals by Gemma Hayes. (Yep Roc)
