Charity Compilation for 5 year old Loxley Johnson's fight against Cancer

Aldora Britain Records is immensely proud to present the 18th volume of our 'Young River Poet' series. Across 50 genre-defying selections, from a broad selection of artists from all around the world, this release aims to raise money for five-year-old Loxley Johnson, the song of Jo Johnson, a Canadian singer-songwriter and a good friend of AB Records.

At the age of four, Loxley was heartbreakingly diagnosed with cancer. To help the family with their new day-to-day experience, a GoFundMe page was set up. The money raised from all 'Young River Poet' releases has and will continue to be donated to this page.

So, I would encourage you to download and enjoy this collection of music for £10 or more. You will be supporting an amazing and inspiring young family, and you will be discovering a brilliant array of independent and underground artists.

Thank you for your support,

Tom @ AB Records


Vigil is proud to have shared the demo version of  Born Again to help Loxley and we encourage you to help him. Check out the compilation here:
