Witches are raising money to support the work of Shelter. Focusing primarily on the causes of homelessness, Shelter helps more than 170,000 people a year fight for their rights, get back on their feet, and find and keep a home.

Make a donation via our Just Giving account and we'll send you a URL, username and password allowing you to download a four-track Witches video: Witches - Live and Undead.

Recorded at the Heart of Stone album launch in Oxford in September 2007, the video contains exclusive performances of four tracks from the album:
  • Josef's Lament
  • Taking Myself Home Again
  • Heart of Stone
  • At Night I Dream of Black Dogs

You'll be given an opportunity to sign up to the Shelter mailing list as part of the donation process.

All the best,
Witches
