Earlier this year British songstress Gabby Young visited Japan on her world tour,where she fell in love with both the country and its people who greeted with great warmth and hospitality.A few weeks later on the same tour she was performing at SXSW in America when she heard the dreadful news of the earthquake and tsunami. Feeling a need to help, she immediately started organising the recording of a 'Song for Japan', encouraging her friends and family from all over the world, both professional singers and amateurs, to record their own contributions. Culminating in a recording session once she returned to the UK, the final song, a reworking of the title track from Gabby's album 'We're all in this together', has now been finished, featuring the talents of Gabby Young, Stephen Ellis of Revere, Tallulah Rendall, Kate Sikora and Kai Altair. The beautiful artwork was created by New York artist Katelan Van Foisy.
