Charity Single project for former Rydal Penrhos Student
Project Underdog will shortly be releasing a charity single to raise money for local communities to help initiatives to keep young people off the streets and to get involved in sport, music and other activities. The brainchild of former Rydal Penrhos student, Jo Lloyd (2001-2006), Project Underdog is made up of unsigned artists from around the UK, and comes as a response to the riots and unrest seen in the UK earlier this year. The single is a cover of Iridescent by US group, Linkin Park.
“This is a hugely exciting project which stems from the recent riots and devastation that hit our city centres. we are going all out to raise funds not only for those local communities that are still recoiling in the wake of the unrest, but to all local communities who can then help keep children off the streets and give them a chance to make a life for themselves”, says Jo. “We started this in direct response to the dreadful events earlier this year, but it is now steamrolling into a much bigger idea. The fires may be out… the streets may now be quiet …but there are many people up and down the UK who have still not recovered from the devastation of August 2011. Lives have been shaken in a massive way. But we also want to help those kids who suffer the daily heartache of loneliness and despair. We want to reach out to those who feel lost and forgotten and give them hope for a brand new day”.
The Project Underdog single is available to download from iTunes now, and will be released in main HMV branches on 6 December. It is also available online in Argos, Amazon, Tesco and HMV.
