This CD was produced at the request of the Shrewsbury Railway Heritage Trust to coincide with a concert that Mark & Chris performed for the Trust on 17th June 2006.

The title song was commissioned by the Trust and written by Mark and Chris and will hopefully be used as their anthem to promote the works of the Trust in building a Heritage centre/museum at Abbey Foregate and restoration work of the Shropshire and Montgomery Railway - affectionately known as "The Old Potts"

 

 

The CD can be obtained from Mark for £12.50 which includes p+p

All proceeds will go towards the SHRT funds.
