Sounds like a great project; what a lineup!

Have you considered Kickstarter?

How do you end up with a small fortune in the record business?? Start with a large one...

Seriously, sounds like a good project that should see the light of day...

What Jim said: Kickstarter (or some equivalent, crowd sourced, fund raising program).
Good luck!

Reminds me of the musician who won the lottery. The newspapers asked him what he would do with the money. He replied 'Just keep on gigging till it runs out'.

Thanks for the ideas. I never got involved with anything like Kickstarter but it looks to be worth looking into.
Happy New Year
