Coventry singer/songwriter Rob Halligan responds to South East Asia disaster.

MUSICIANS and bands from around Coventry and the West Midlands are to record a single to raise money for victims of the tsunami which hit South East Asia on Boxing Day. The song, "Stand Together", written by Coventry-based singer/songwriter Rob Halligan, was originally penned after the September 11th attacks on New York in which his father died. Said Halligan, "'Stand Together' is a song about hope and about rising up out of a bad situation - about pulling together to make a difference." J10 Studios in Coventry have offered recording time and a number of local bands have pledged support in a local level Band-Aid style project. CR
