Album Description
This album has been produced to raise funds for the Fred Dibnah Memorial Fund. It features 4 different artists who all wrote songs about Fred.
The Fred Dibnah Memorial Appeal has been set up to raise money for the erection of a Fred Dibnah statue in Bolton town centre. After the cost of manufacture 100% of the money from this CD will go to the appeal.
Each artist on the CD knew Fred in some way and has donated their track for free. Fred himself liked these songs and was always pretty chuffed that songs had been written about him!

bought this CD out of curiosity having watched most of the Fred Dibnah TV series. I found him to have been extremely knowledgeable in our Industrial heritage with a witty sense of humour that often made me laugh. The tracks on this CD vary from folk to brass with believe it or not a touch of Oasis!! All in all good humorous songs with all the familiar Fred Dibnah quotes.
