Featuring local bands and members of the Hillsborough Families Support Group, this newly created version of Kop favourite 'Fields of Anfield Road' - which includes an extra verse penned by LFC TV regular and Farm frontman Peter Hooton in tribute to the 96 - has been produced in remembrance of those who lost their lives at Hillsborough.

Hooton, who along with John Power of the La's, Mick Head of Shack, Nick Kilroe from Echo and the Bunnymen, James Walsh from Starsailor and Rob Taylor of the Troubadors, was involved in the making of the single, said: "Before Christmas the Lord Mayor Steve Rotheram got in touch and asked about the feasibility of doing this. I spoke with Phil Hayes from the Picket and Kevin McManus from Merseyside ACME and with friends and colleagues to see if they would support the project and there was an overwhelming response.
"Because of the nature of the song a lot of people volunteered to get involved. It is a reworking of a Kop classic and I hope it raises awareness of the Hillsborough disaster and is a fitting tribute to the 96 and the survivors."
Councillor Rotheram added: "Hillsborough affected so many lives, not just on Merseyside but across the whole of the UK. I attended the match 20 years ago and the passing years do not diminish the importance and the poignancy of this occasion.
"This record, the memorial service at Anfield and all the other Hillsborough remembrance events are a symbol of the fact that we will never forget the 96 young and old Liverpool fans who died."
