It Bites release Cumbria Disaster charity single
 Cumbrian proggers It Bites have teamed up with a host of progressive rocks brightest stars to re-record a charity version of their 1986 top ten hit Calling All The Heroes. The band have drafted in Marillion's Steve Hogarth and Pete Trewavas, as well as John Wetton, Geoff Downes, Jason Perry and Jem Godfrey. Original singer Francis Dunnery also features a lot in both the single and accompanying video.
The song is available from iTunes for 99p and Amazon for 89p.
There is also a video for sale via iTunes for £1.89. The video was produced by Russell Cherrington from the Film and Television Department of the Faculty of the Arts at the University of Cumbria. Russell has previously worked with Japan, Peter Gabriel and Queensryque.
