Description
Echoes in the Alleway: a Tribute to Doves is an album of various artists are covering original tracks by Doves.
When the idea was first put to me, my first question (of many!) was what would be the point of such a project? That is where the Teenage Cancer Trust comes in. A charity Doves have supported themselves, when they played at the Royal Albert Hall in London March 2003 as part of Teenage Cancer Trust concert series.
Doves are aware of the project and have given it their blessing. The downloads are free, but we are asking for a donation, big or small, made to Teenage Cancer Trust.
Every penny raised goes direct to the Teenage Cancer Trust. There is also an option to tick gift aid, please tick this as for every pound you donate the Teenage Cancer Trust will recieve an extra 25p from the inland revenue.
On behalf of all the artists involved with the album. Thank you for your donation. Leave a comment for the bands below.

“…echoes in the alleyway, footsteps in the hall, and this house is full of mirrors…”
When asked by Haçienda co-owner and ex-Joy Division manager, Rob Gretton, what they wanted to be, Jimi Goodwin, speaking on behalf of his band, simply replied “musicians”.
Five EPs, four studio albums and three compilations later, his prediction rings true.
Doves’ reputation for honing epic, multi-layered compositions has won them legions of fans around the world. Here, a handful of those fans mirror Doves by following in their footsteps.
Echoes in the Alleyway: a Tribute to Doves is a compilation of selected tracks, performed and recorded by fans. It is their record of appreciation for some gifted, but unsung musicians.
Here’s to the next broadcast…
