Music stars release album in aid of Sudan refugees

AN ALBUM featuring exclusive tracks from rock stars Ash, REM and David Gray was released yesterday to raise money for people driven from their homes in Sudan’s troubled Darfurregion.

Faithless, Futureheads and Badly Drawn Boy will also feature on the 14-track album being launched for Oxfam’s Sudan appeal.

More than 30,000 people have been killed and 1.4 million displaced following 18 months of fighting between government troops and rebels in what the UN has called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
