Academics from the University of St Andrews have written a song about the credit crunch in aid of student scholarships.
The folk-rock band consisting entirely of academics from the Arts faculty will sell downloads of the song to raise money for students in need.
The song, inspired by the current financial crisis, was written by founder member of the band, English lecturer, Dr Chris Jones.The band, Dry Island Buffalo Jump, formed in summer 2008 and currently consists of four historians, a French linguist, a Divinity scholar and a poet.
Formed as a 'music-making collective' for academics across the University, the band will donate all proceeds from the song, plus live performance fees to a newly established fund for St Andrews' students.
The Credit Crunch Song by Dry Island Buffalo Jump is available to download online at http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/dibj/, with a minimum suggested donation of £1.
