'Love Farewell' The Band & Bugles of The Rifles and John Tams
'LOVE FAREWELL' TOGETHER WITH THE BONUS TRACK 'OVER THE HILLS & FAR AWAY'/SHARPE'S THEME HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY RECORDED BY INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED FOLKSINGER JOHN TAMS AND THE BAND & BUGLES OF THE RIFLES TO HELP RAISE MUCH NEEDED FUNDS FOR OUR WOUNDED SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN.
"This is a superb song, haunting, determined, and unforgettable, a true soldiers song. Soldiers say farewell as they go to serve their country, leaving their loved ones to await their return. Some may fall, some may be wounded, all will be changed and all are heroes. I ask you to buy this song and help us to help our heroes" Bryn Parry, Co founder, and Chief Executive, Help For Heroes.
"I'm a civilian - I hold no truck with war yet the young men and women returning in heartbreaking numbers dead and wounded in service was an opportunity to put my voice where they had put their lives - a small gesture for me - all too often life-losing, life changing sacrifice for them. It's a lovesong, a leave-taking song, without jingoism or sabre rattling and if it makes a difference to the care of those coming home and their families, my small contribution has been worthwhile". John Tams.
