Stuart Cable's Former band members release their first single since Stuarts passing away. Stuart put his heart and soul into music, and into this band. Never expected them to get big, and the band still don't expect to get big.

They are going to be releasing their single "Former Mining Town" this sunday, with all proceedings going towards 2 great charities which Stuart, and the band, along with Kelly Jones (Stereophonics Singer), are all great followers of. The single is amazing, and I hope you like it too... heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1oQQdz3nE8

It was with heavy hearts that we all first heard the saddening news about the passing of Stuart Cable, founding member of Killing For Company, former drummer of the Stereophonics and tragically missed son, father, brother and band-mate.

To honour the life's-work of this talented and giving individual, on July 25th Stuart's current band members from rock group, Killing For Company, will be releasing a single dedicated to his memory.

The proceeds from 'Former Mining Town' will be donated towards the charities, Teenage Cancer Trust and Tŷ Hafan, the family hospice for young lives.

In the past Stuart regularly involved himself in charitable events, raising funds throughout the years for Macmillan Cancer, NetAid and other charities. He was part of a billboard campaign for Testicular Cancer Awareness in 2002 and recently completed a 50 mile Welsh Cycle Challenge for PACT - Parents & Abducted Children Together, only a few days before his tragic death.

His Killing For Company band members commented: "To think Stu won't be joining us on stage anymore is a hard thought to face and although his passing is tragic, we hope to draw some positive from this difficult time. As a band, we are honoured and privileged to have shared the experiences we've had with Stu.

We will be releasing the single, 'Former Mining Town', and dedicating it to Stuart; he was hugely proud of the album and this track in particular. All funds raised will be donated to Teenage Cancer Trust and Tŷ Hafan.
Not only have we lost a rock legend but also a best friend and the heart of our band. The stage will not be the same without him."

'Former Mining Town' was written and recorded by Killing For Company in 2009 and will be available for download only from July 25th 2010 via iTunes and all other major online stores. Please join us in this worthy cause and pay tribute to the talented musician that has been lost to us all.
