Unapologetically challenging and provocative, The Last Chance weaves eight finely-crafted human stories around one of the burning issues of our times: the Israel/Palestine conflict. Songs to move the mind and the heart.

The Song of Martin Fontasch/ Song of the Olive Tree (sung by Janet Russell)/ The Last Chance/ They Said.../ Yafa! (lyrics by Mahmoud Salim al-Hout, music by Reem Kelani, sung by Reem Kelani)/ My Father's Jewish World/ The 3rd Intifada/ Loyal Soldiers.

Distributed by Proper Music Distribution but it may be too controversial for most record shops.
Official release date is in April but available now by mail order. Send a cheque for £12 made out to Fuse Records to 28 Park Chase, Wembley, Middlesex HA9 8EH.
All profits from the sale of this CD go to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).
