Wednesday
26th May sees the launch of a groundbreaking new venture
from Oxfam - www.bignoisemusic.com
We also have clips of Chris
Martin on a trip with Oxfam to see how MakeTrade Fair works,
as well as audio clips of the exclusive tracks
From Wednesday 26th May you can download music from a choice
of 300,000 tracks and know that some of your money is going
to help end poverty. 10p from every pound spent on the site
goes directly to Oxfam, with songs costing from as little
as 75p each.
Adrian Lovett, Oxfam’s Director of Campaigns and Communications
said, “Bignoisemusic.com works for everyone. Music
lovers get great tracks and artists see their music helping
some of the poorest people in the world, through real cash
support and by building the worldwide movement to Make Trade
Fair.”
Oxfam has received positive endorsement
for www.bignoisemusic.com from the music industry, from
record labels to artists and
managers. Artists have provided exclusive tracks for the
site, launching with Coldplay and George Michael as well
as competition prizes such unique gold discs and digital
music players. Chris Martin of Coldplay thinks downloading
from www.bignoisemusic.com is “a good idea when you
know your money is going to help some of the world’s
poorest people.”
Alison Wenham, Chief Executive of
AIM said, “Aim welcomes
Oxfam's entry into the digital music market. So many of our
members will applaud and support the marriage of music with
a mission to help poor people around the world.”
