Songs of Solace

In a groundbreaking initiative, two of Scotland’s leading groups of musicians - The Glasgow Phoenix Choir, which has been sponsored by The Co-operative Funeralcare for the past three years and The Co-operative Funeralcare Band, have joined forces to record Songs of Solace, which is released on sale today (20 November).

The compilation CD, produced for Scotdisc, features a collection of the most popular contemporary songs, hymns and classical music requested at today’s funerals. All proceeds will be split between the Choir and the Band, both registered charities.

Songs of Solace, which features 16 tracks, will be available from www.scotdisc.co.uk or www.amazon.co.uk, from Friday 20 November and HMV and www.hmv.com from Monday 23 November.
