As some of you will already know, I am a big fan of London-based musician, CN Lester. CN is classically trained and fabulously talented, producing music that ranges from baroque opera to alt rock. I blogged about CN’s last project here.

CN’s latest venture is Dark Angels, an album of songs with Toby Carr on guitar and CN providing the vocals. The material ranges from Benjamin Britten to musical arrangements of Roz Kaveney’s poetry. There’s a fundraiser at Indiegogo to cover the costs of recording and production. It has a week to run and is around $800 short of the goal.

Now, I have signed up at one of the levels that gets me two tickets to the album launch party in London on the 29th. But I can’t go. So here’s the deal. If you go and sign up at the $15 level, which just gets you the album, and let me know you have done so, I’ll put you into a draw, and two lucky backers will get one of my tickets to the party. OK? (New backers only, please, as the point is to get CN over the target.)

As you’ll need to know in time to make plans, I’m going to end the contest on Monday night. You need to get in before then.

Of course if you don’t live in London then you too are unlikely to be able to attend, but the album is going to be fabulous and it is well worth backing. Go here, please.
