Aug 18 2006

By Catherine Jones Culture Reporter, Liverpool Echo

POP legend Robin Gibb has hand-picked his favourite songs by Lipa students for a compilation EP. The Bee Gee, who last year was made a Lipa Companion, selected the five tracks for inclusion on the disc. The digital release, titled Lipa's 1st Selected by Robin Gibb, will be available exclusively on the iTunes music stores from the beginning of October. The 56-year-old singer and multi-Grammy award winner chose the songs from 140 submitted by students at the Mount Street institute for performing arts. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT He said he was impressed by the quality of the tracks and found it hard to narrow down the selection. He added: "This is such a great way to bring fresh new talent and ideas to the public sector so they can hear for themselves the stars of the future." Tracks chosen include Derail and Crash by the Wombats - who won the Musicians Benevolent Fund songwriting competition in 2005.
