Top bands contribute tracks to tribute album

Stereophonics, Richard Ashcroft, Pulp and Badly Drawn Boy have all contributed to an album in tribute to TV and radio plugger Scott Piering.

Tracks from The Charlatans, The Orb, Gomez and The KLF also appear on 4Scott, which is out on August 26.

Piering, who died of cancer two years ago, helped many bands when they first started out.

Many of those bands played a charity tribute concert for Scott at London's Scala in April, NME.COM reports.

At least €3 from each 4Scott CD purchase will be donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care, the same charity that benefited from the Scala concert.

Channel 4 will be screening an hour-long film of the 4Scott concert on Saturday August 24.
