The organisers of WinterStorm Rock Festival have announced St Andrews Day, the 30th of November, as the release date of their first ever charity single comprising of the AC/DC number “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock n Roll)” and a B side with the classic Bad Motor Scooter.
The tracks feature a WinterStorm Supergroup collaboration of Chris Glen (Sensational Alex Harvey Band), Doogie White (Rainbow and Michael Schenker Group) and Paul McManus (GUN), plus the 1st Troon Boys Brigade Pipe Band playing the famous bagpipe section of the AC/DC classic and other WinterStorm featured artistes adding their guitars and vocals.
The single will be available for download from 30th November on all the usual platforms and all proceeds are going to go to two mental health charities. The dementia-based charity “Playlist For Life” and Scottish Action for Mental Health with particular focus on the See Me project aimed at reducing the stigma of mental health in youths.
WinterStorm festival organiser Ian McCaig outlined the reasons for choosing the mental health charities,
“WinterStorm is a music event that crosses the generations both on the stage and in the audience. We have bands with artistes into their seventies playing alongside young groups still barely out heir teens. The crowd is made up of folk who grew up in the Apollo in Glasgow or The Pavilion in Ayr in the seventies and eighties but also attracts a strong younger audience too.
It made sense therefore to split the proceeds between the dementia charity Playlist for Life which assists care workers in using music to stimulate memories and brain activity and SAMH who are working in communities across Scotland in assisting youths with mental health issues.”
