Exclusive cuts drive plot for War Child charity CD. (News).

The music industry's response to the war in Iraq reaches its own D-Day today (Monday) when plugging outfit The Partnership services the humanitarian record Hope to TV and radio stations across the country.

The effort to help raise a target 1m [pounds sterling] for War Child to aid the children of war-torn Iraq started in earnest last Thursday morning when a meeting was called to finalise the track listing for Hope (see box) and artwork from four ideas submitted by graphic designer Nick Robinson. Later in the day the album was sent for cutting at Sony Music Studios in central London.
