We Cut Corners release charity cover single this Friday
'Stop The Cavalry' in aid of First Fortnight...
Rambunctious pair and Hot Press faves We Cut Corners are set to release a cover of Jona Lewie's classic '80s Christmas song 'Stop The Cavalry' this Friday December 5.
It's in aid of mental health awareness organisation First Fortnight, whose festival of the same name is also headlined by We Cut Corners on Saturday January 10 at The Button Factory. 'Stop The Calvary' is available digitally this Friday with all proceeds from iTunes going towards First Fortnight.
"It's our favourite Christmas song and since we first played it live in Dick Mack's pub in Dingle during Other Voices a couple of years back, we've wanted to record it for Christmas", say Conall and John. "When we were asked to be part of First Fortnight 2015, it seemed like the perfect time to make that happen. We've been very lucky to have the help of some great musicians to include strings and brass on the recording, which we finished just a few days ago in Orphan Studios in Dublin. Hopefully it can play a part in raising awareness for First Fortnight 2015, and with some downloads make a contribution towards this year's fundraising for the charity."
