Wolf Alice Guitarist Joff Oddie Shares Solo Album

'To Mr Fahey' is out now...

*Wolf Alice* guitarist *Joff Oddie* has shared a new solo guitar album in full.

The guitarist volunteers at a food bank in Camden, close to his home, and decided to try something different to raise funds.

All proceeds from his new solo LP 'To Mr Fahey' will be given to the Trussell Trust, an anti-poverty organisation who support food banks around the UK.

A collection of solo guitar instrumentals, it features material from Davey Graham and John Fahey, while the titular track is an original ode to the father of American Primitive Guitar.

Joff Oddie explains...

"The year is 2019 and after 11 brutal years of Tory austerity the country I love has given up on its social obligation to look after its most vulnerable members. An estimated four million people now live in poverty, homelessness is up by 168% since 2010 and a broken economic system has meant that over 25% of benefit claimants are actually in work."

"Naturally this album made up of covers of my favourite folk instrumentalists, will do little to redress these moral injustices. However, faced with a system that no longer cares it is imperative that we all do our bit."

"For this reason every single penny of profit from this record will be going to the Trussell Trust, a food bank charity, who at present give out over 1.33 million food parcels a year to those in need across the U.K. It is organisations like this, and the kind hearted individuals who make them up, that act as a guiding light to us all in these dark and troubled times."
