BEN REEL "Inshallah Shalom"

GENRE: ROOTS ROCK

Inshallah Shalom (God willing peace) has received great response from DJ's

worldwide and I was especially delighted that it has been played 4 times

already on RTE Radio 1. Special thanks to Fiachna O'Braonain (Hothouse

Flowers member) who really picked up on its message of peace and hope.

I was told by people while playing this song live on tour in Germany last

week that it needs to be heard Internationally. I am asking all you good folks

DJ's out there to help me spread this message of peace.
