Leukaemia Research Benefit
Phoenix Rising
Danny Spencer, the original Phoenix Rising drummer succumbed to an untimely death at the age of 30, a victim of Leukaemia. As a tribute, Pete Bangert formed a new band line-up consisting of Mel Day, Nick Parfrey and Gordon Henderson in order to raise awareness and funding locally for the Leukaemia Research Fund. This cassette was made in 1992 as a 'live' session in the ‘Blank Tape’ 8 track Studio in Sheffield.
Tracks were taken from the live set the band performed and included Led Zeppelin, Wishbone Ash and Sassafras covers in addition to Stormbringer, the original Phoenix Rising track written by Pete Bangert and performed widely by the original band line-up.
All proceeds from sales of the audio cassette tapes were passed on to the Leukaemia Research Fund. This amounted to a significant sum over the next couple of years.
Unfortunately, we have had to cease production of this album so the recording is no longer available, but you never know, you may be able to find one on eBay.
