Rory And The Island to release new single today
The new release will coincide with World Suicide Prevention Day which will be observed tomorrow September 10.
‘The Battle To Stay Positive’ is available to download on iTunes here: http://itunes.apple.com/ie/album/the-battle-to-stay-positive/id462842255 with all proceeds going to Olagola.com, a charity which raises awareness of suicide.
Olagola came to former Rev's man Rory Gallagher’s aid when he was diagnosed with depression a number of years ago.
“The suicide rate in Ireland is now overtaking the amount of people who die on the roads annually - it must be addressed,” he states.
“I am now dealing with my depression and I've got a grip on it. I realize my condition was triggered by an over indulgent lifestyle mixed with the stress of over working but some people have a much worse natural chemical imbalance and have to deal with the worst side of depression for years - it is impossible to deal with alone.”
