Price of CD, payment and donations

Price is likely to be set at £5 GBP (for UK and European purchases, maybe a couple of extra £ for US purchases, due to high postage costs, but I am looking into this) but am open to comments. In all honesty, the cost is irrelevant as any profit will be going to the charities, so the more that is donated for each unit the more that DEC and Cancer Research UK will benefit.

I am thinking of suggesting PayPal as a means of sending money, as this means I get the donations quicker, and it saves on postage costs and the necessary banking of cheques and cash (although there is the fact that PayPal trim off a little for their charges, but this can be paid for at source, or the charitable amount becomes less for the sale). Of course, 'snail mail' is always an option though, I'm not against it at all, it just saves a little footwork by all!

I am also contemplating throwing in a sample CD of some other recent material to anyone who donates £8 or more, but will investigate how worthwhile this will be and report back here.

Again, all just ideas, am open to any comments here or to me on Facebook, or by email to tokengestures@yahoo.co.uk (please note that this email is for details and requests for CDs only, NOT for paying by PayPal, the email for that will be announced at a later date).

It has been a very long time in getting this little project together, but I am hopeful that it will be extremely worthwhile. PLEASE try and donate if you can as the two charities are extremely worthwhile ... and are dear to my heart.

Many thanks,

Artwork to follow in a few days, but here is the track listing:

Nobody Told Me

Pineapple Head
Homburg
Ballad Of Easy Rider
Let It Down

Thanks to everyone who lent a hand in getting this thing together, it'll reach fruition in a very short while (I still need to organise the production license before it can escape, and it all costs money; that is sadly money that I don't readily have spare). 

PLEASE forward links to this blog to enable people to read about it, and to ensure that we can get as many sales as possible, and thus maximise monies for the two charities benefitting (all profits are going directly to DEC and Cancer Research UK).

Many thanks as always for reading. Details on how to get a copy will be here soon.

"Lest We Forget" charity EP <LINK>

At long last, the charity CD EP is nearing completion, after being several years in the making. Featuring contributions from Paul Kindred, Tom Edwards, Mike Tuffery, Jen Goff, Neil Dubé and Trev Whitney, this seven song project nods to the likes of John Lennon and George Harrison as well as harkening back to songs by Procol Harum and The Byrds.

By clicking on the link above you will be taken to a YouTube video explaining more about the project and the charities that will benefit (all profits will be going to these charities).

I hope you will be able to donate and receive a copy of the CD. More information will be made available nearer the time of its eventual release.

This is a new blogspot to try and highlight what is happening in the world of Gesture Songs At Twilight music. 

Most of my projects are charity based, I take no profit from ANYTHING I produce, the fun I get out of making it is all that I want; if charities can benefit, that is what makes me happy.

More on what is new and current very soon.
