"Wake Up" Burma Campaign

Below is a straight lift from a Burma Campaign email. I don’t suppose this new song will be widely available in China either.

Good news though that Willis the 3rd largest insurance broker is to end its links with the Burma regime. Reminds me to chase my councillor about my Council pension fund investments in Burma.


Dear Friends

Up and coming new indie band Lo-Star have just released their debut single in support of the Burma Campaign UK. Their new song 'Wake Up' was written by the band to tell the world that it’s time to take action on Burma.

The profits from the single will be donated to the Burma Campaign UK to help us in our work for human rights and democracy in Burma.The Daily Star has named it their single of the week, saying, “We should all still go out and buy it.

Why? Because all the proceeds go to the Burma Campaign. Fortunately, it sounds quite lovely too. The lyrics "We gotta wake up, we've got to realise that something needs to be done" sound all the more poignant alongside the affecting video of the protesting Burmese people.”

Download the single now and help raise money for the Burma Campaign. You can buy the single on iTunes:

Simply to sing a song about freedom and democracy in Burma is an arrestable offence, with a penalty of up to 20 years in jail. While the Burmese people are silenced, the rest of the world can speak out.

Wake Up is available in the shops from March 24th.

Thanks for your support.
