Olympische Reisen

Fast wie die olympische Flamme reiste auch Musiker Toronto-Resident Liam Titcomb nach Westen: Er konnte 50 000 Dollar zusammenbringen, indem er alle seine Konzerteinkünfte und Spenden während seiner Ost-nach-West-Tour von Krieg betroffenen Kindern zukommen lieβ - das Ergebnis: 100 Konzerte in zwei Monaten.

Kurz vor Weihnachten nahm Titcomb ausserdem einen Titel mit Chantal Kreviazuk, Shiloh and Lucas Silveira of The Cliks auf, “People Have The Power”, der auf der zehnten Kompilation War Child 10 zu hören ist. Falls Ihr auch spenden wollt oder Euch für seine Musik interessiert, klickt auf das “Donate”-Symbol auf Liam’s homepage. Ein Video des Songs kann man hier finden.
