About this CD:
Every day, we are subjected to bad news, economic doom and gloom, with stories of how we have lost our connection with community and human compassion. Well, it's good to hear a human story that rises above the clouds - a story about bunch of musicians giving their time and effort to help a good cause  in Sligo.

When Steve McGovern died from pancreatic cancer in February of this year, it was a shock to everyone who knew him. A young musician aged just 43; he was a talented piano player who championed the blues in Dublin, in his home county of Cavan and in the areas around Boyle and Carrick-on-Shannon where he lived with his partner Susan Tomelty.

In April, members of the Blues Club at JJ Smyth's, Aungier Street, Dublin hosted a fundraiser in memory of Steve. More recently a Rhythm & Blues Jamboree took place in memory of Steve at the Breffini Arms Hotel in Arvagh Cavan where seven bands performed to raise money for the hospice.

Contributors include: Susan Tomelty, Charlie McGettigan, Noel Bridgeman, John Quearney, Eddie Lynch, Ed Deane and a track produced by the late Steve.The CD is called Love will Linger ' which takes its title from a track contributed by Charlie McGettigan.

 * All proceeds from sales and royalties will go directly to the North West Hospice to assist them in their delivery of palliative services for the North West Region. The CD is priced at a suggested donation of € 10 each and will make an ideal gift.
