Love Power Project

LP_and_PEACE_logo The Love Power project began with a conversation in the Andalucian mountain village in which Robin George now has his home, Robin explained, Over the years many artists have recorded my song, LovePower and Peace and I was telling a friend that one day I'd like to do a mix featuring them all. 

It started as a single, then grew to an EP then as more and more artists joined the cause, they started contacting fellow musicians and now its a  album packed with fantastic songs.

With 21st Century technology, geographical distance is no barrier.

Its amazing, says Robin.. A couple of weeks ago I recorded  drummers Charlie Morgan in Nashville, whos played with Elton John and Kate Bush, Chris Slade of AC/DC and Damage Control in Los Angeles,  Pete Thompson in Dallas, who's with Robin Trower...

There were also tracks winging their way in from  Pete Haycock in Germany, Conny Bloom of Hanoi Rocks in Sweden plus Ken Hensley from Uriah Heep and Eddie Clarke of Motor Head sent tracks from Spain and London all in the same week.

He adds, Pete Thompson put me in touch with Pete Haycock from The Climax Blues Band whose superb slide guitar is a major feature of the album. He put me in contact with J Dom Brown from Duran and Morgan Fisher from Mott the Hoople who have both contributed fantastically to the album .

Robin also flew to England at the weekend to produce a massive vocal recording session featuring Pete Way of UFO, Daniel Boone, Jaki Graham, Marshall Law, Spike and the Quireboys, Vix from Fuzzbox and Emmerdales Freya Copeland.

There a packed album of songs featuring 50 artists and counting! All are written or co- written by Robin, except for Daffodils and a beautiful Phil Lynott track.

The power behind the whole project is the desire of all the artists to put something back.


The number of people wanting to take part is a huge tribute to Robin. Featuring on the album are, amongst so many others, genius bassist Pino Palladino, Ruby Turner, John Wetton of Asia, the late great David Byron, Pete Goalby of Uriah Heep, the late Kex Gorin of Magnum, Jacqui Williams of M People and Sean Harris of Diamond Head.


Robin has also worked with Thin Lizzy, Robert Plant, David Byron, Roy Wood Carl Palmer and Don Airey and Plant and Ted Nugent have recorded his songs.

A few of the artists have suggested forming the ultimate super group. I'd be interested in that. Robin smiled. Its years since I've been on a major tour and I think its time to get back out there, especially for something as fabulous as this.
