Van 'sells' album of hope

TALKING about the album Across The Bridge Of Hope, Van Morrison said: "This was a tragedy that should never have happened - but it did.
"And we must support those victims of Omagh in whatever way we can.
"Buying this album is one way we can all contribute."
It has been put together to raise money for the Omagh Fund.
Although the tracks themselves, tend not to deal with the Northern Ireland 'situation', it is worth lifting a snippot from Sunrise, by the Divine Comedy.
"Who cares where national borders lie
Who cares whose laws you're governed by
Who cares what name you call a town
Who cares when you're six feet in the ground."
The album is in the shops tomorrow.
