Cranberries single for Chernobyl children

Irish band The Cranberries are to donate the worldwide royalties from their new single to assist the Chernobyl Children's Project.

The Cork based charity organisation provides funding and assistance to children affected by the 1986 nuclear disaster.

Cranberries lead singer, Dolores O'Riordan, said the song, 'Time is Ticking Out', was directly influenced by the plight of the children.

The founder of the Chernobyl Children's Project, Adi Roche, described the gesture as "very significant".

Beautifully recorded without taking the grit out of the songs

Whether warming or giving the chills, McMorrow sounds like someone to stick with for the long haul.
