Inmates raise £3000 for charity with album

INMATES at a Scots prison have raised more than £3000 for charity by releasing a CD, the first-ever release by a British prison choir.

The choir at Addiewell Prison in West Lothian, raised the money for homeless charity Shelter Scotland under the guidance of former BBC Young Musician of the Year, Shona Brown.

The 12-strong prison choir, which was set up by Miss Brown, were joined by members of SoundRoutes choirs, from Central Scotland, to record the four-track EP, called Changing Key.
