We have all been horrified and send our heart out to all the people affected by the ongoing disaster in Japan, caused by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The true extent of the disaster is sadly yet to be fully realised and the relief effort still needs more funds.
Bands from all over the world have contributed to 'Punk 4 Japan'. For a mere £6 you will get over 80 fantastic tracks and 100% of the money raised will go to the Red Cross's Disaster Relief Fund and will help provide first aid and shelter for those affected.
(There is even a third volume coming out soon that will feature my good friends Emergency Bitter)
You find the Punk 4 Japan site HERE. Please have a look, you might find your new favourite band. And it really is for an excellent cause.
Music not really your thing? Well, no problem. Loads of independent creative people have been joining in raising money for the relief effort. Here's a selection from UK sellers on Etsy...
Still see nothing that takes your fancy? Well HERE is a list of countless organisations that are taking part in the relief effort and need your help.
Thank you xxx

I do think it's wonderful that so many people are inspired to get stuck in and help with this. I had no idea about all the etsy stuff.
I know a certain someone who will love that punk compilation (as if he hasn't got enough of it already). xxxx
This is really great! Thanks for sharing for the good cause!
Brilliant post Roo, will be checking out those Etsy shops :)
