Andy
Partridge was the first person Steve Somerset turned to when he
came up with the idea of a CD to commemorate the 50th anniversary
of the charity.

Steve's
wife Hilary was diagnosed with MS six years ago.
The
CD is called The Wish List - and Steve says that's exactly how the
idea started out.
In
a matter of time, his wish list of artists became a reality as the
likes of Swindon's Justin Hayward and Steve Hogarth from Marillion
agreed to be involved.
PLUS
- the added bonus of a new track by XTC - under their other guise
of The Dukes of Stratosphear.
Copies
of The Wish List are only available from the offical website.
Andy
Partridge and Steve Somerset recently visited the BBC Radio Swindon
studios to talk about The Wish List with Mid-Morning Show presenter
Dan Chisholm. Andy also discussed XTC's past, present and future.
