Chester Songwriters is an informal group of Chester-based musicians who come together to share their songs and provide support and encouragement to each other. Occasionally, there are collective activities such as live performances at Chester's iconic bandstand by the River Dee. The most recent joint activity is compiling a CD of their songs, bringing together the work of 14 different writers in an eclectic mix where there is something for everyone.
The 14 individual tracks can be purchased here as digital downloads for just £0.50 each.
Or you can buy all 14 tracks for download for just £5.00.
Click on Chester Songwriters in the categories box on the left to see and order the tracks. (The All 14 tracks option is last on the list).
Alternatively, you can purchase the physical CD in digipak, with artwork by Lydia O'Hara, for £5.00 (plus 0.79p postage UK), by contacting Dave Atkinson, e-mail:

All the income from sales of the physical CD and from digital downloads is being donated to Music Action International, a charity where people from across the world use the power of creativity to overcome the effects and causes of war, torture and armed conflict.
