Builders' song could keep wolf from door
Tim Stewart1 Oct 2008
A band of Canary Wharf construction workers are building a new career after writing a single about the credit crunch.
The band are Canary Wolf and their tongue-in cheek single Credit Crunch has been played on national radio and is a hit on the internet. Lyrics include "Forget climate change, the price of petrol and starvation, there's a new fear sweeping the nation".
The band met while working on the Barclays, Citigroup and law firm Clifford Chance towers.
Lead singer Richard Bray said: "Everyone is worried and those of us in construction don't know where the next job is coming from. We're hoping we might release the single and it would be ironic if we made money out of the credit crunch."
