ALBUM: Various - The Cake Sale
(Oxfam Records - Vital)
THE concept of the charity album is to guilt people into buying it for the absolute right purpose - to help charities.
The Cake Sale is something of a blessing in that it's actually listenable - nay, enjoyable.
Bell X1's Brian Crosby thought of it and it's fair to say that his tuneful sensibilities are prevalent.
Couple that with the appearance of musical behemoths Nina Persson, Neil Hannon, Gary Lightbody and The Thrills, the record is a treat of the sweetest kind.
Why its British release is a full 12 months after its Republic of Ireland one is anyone's guess, though.
