An extract of the Press release of the Event:
" “Relay for Life” to Benefit from Second Life CD Collaboration as part of Second Life’s 7th Birthday Celebration
Popular British singer, Sid Slade, will be releasing His First CD’s in Second Life on Wednesday the 23rd of June, at Romantica Yacht Club (RYC), timed to coincide with Second Life’s 7th Birthday Celebration. Sid, who raised around 300,000 lindens through the sale of his real life paintings, in aid of the “Relay for Life” Cancer Charity, has subsequently managed to raise around 225,000 additional lindens, for RFL, through his “surreal musical journey”.

Surreal is an apt description. Sid had never sung a song in his life until June 2009, when a visiting nephew left a microphone at his house. Sid decided to fit it to his PC and recorded a couple of songs for fun. He had a few friends take a listen and the feedback was very positive, many even suggesting that he should pursue the hidden talent. He decided to take some real life lessons from a voice coach to learn how to breathe properly and gain more control over his voice. Improvement came quickly, he began to build up a repertoire and began live streaming into Second Life with the intention that any fees and tips would again be donated to RFL.

Sid has become well known in Second Life with a loyal fan club and a regular gig schedule at top live music venues such as RYC. So much so in fact that he approached the voice coach, who also does recording sessions, and set to recording enough songs for an album. Pat Wunderland of Wunderland Records , also a promoter of live music in secondlife and who produces CDs’ to sell in world, was very impressed with the recordings, a mixture of genres with something to please most peoples tastes. Pat was happy to help and and the fabulous UKD Project also Joined the party. Sid Rocks your Soul 1 has 4 of Sid’s tracks and a guest track from  . Sid Rocks your Soul 2 also has 4 of Sid’s tracks and a guest track from the UKD Project.
