Al Gore likes our eco-music

A few weeks ago, we posted a list of the five all-time best eco songs, with several runners-up. We're delighted to hear that one of our choices, the Autons, have subsequently been approached by Al Gore.

The Portsmouth-based band's climate change anthem, Maybe appears on their cult classic Short Term Manifesto. Environmentalist film maker Yesca, part of the Undercurrents media collective, made this video.

"The idea was to put something out there that people could pass around to people all over the UK and the world via the internet" says singer David Auton "and to have something that could be shown at greening campaigns, Transition Town gatherings and music and film festivals".

Since the band featured on Green Central, Al Gore's people have been in touch and so has MTV. We're glad to have helped.

PS. If you're in London you can catch the Autons on Wednesday at The Dublin Castle in Camden.
