SACRIFICE - CHARITY SINGLE

The Drifters have recorded their own version of Sir Elton John's hit anthem 'Sacrifice' to be released as a charity single in aid of UK based HIV+/AIDS Charity MildMay. The single marks the first official release by the group in 30 years.

MildMay have pioneered care and treatment for HIV+AIDS patients in the UK and overseas for the last two decades and the charity leads the world in the treatment and rehabilitation of HRBI (HIV Related Brain Impairment) at their East London Hospital, which is well known for the famous visit of the late Princess Diana.

Fi McLachlan, CEO at Mildmay says: "Everyone at Mildmay is really excited about the upcoming release of the new Drifters single, Sacrifice. It is an honour to be working with The Drifters, knowing that sales of the single will boost our care and treatment programmes, helping to rehabilitate patients suffering the effects of brain impairment as a result of HIV and making a difference in the lives of people living with HIV."

Steve V King from The Drifters says: "The Drifters are very happy to support this project to ensure that this effective treatment at the hospital is secured for many years to come. We hope that, through the Sacrifice single, we can really make a difference to people here in the UK who are suffering from this dreadful disease."

The Sacrifice single, produced by Shaun Lowe at Neon Records, was recorded using traditional Drifters production techniques.
