Wayne Devlin’s ‘Looking Back’ Album Supports Salford Lads & Girls Club Fundraiser

Acclaimed singer and performer Wayne Devlin has released his digital album ‘Looking Back’ with all proceeds going directly to support the historic Salford Lads & Girls Club, a vital community asset now facing serious financial challenges. 

The Salford Lads & Girls Club, a Grade II-listed building with a rich cultural heritage, is not just a global icon of music history, but also a lifeline for local youth in the Ordsall area, where 46% of children live in poverty.

The club offers essential activities like sports, music workshops, and arts programmes, keeping young people away from the pressures of gang culture and creating a safe space for personal development.

However, the club is in urgent need of £250,000 by the end of the year to keep its doors open, as soaring costs of utilities and maintenance have placed it at risk of closure.

Devlin, known for his charitable efforts, has a strong connection to the club and its mission as he has witnessed first hand how it has helped young people in the community.

His new album, ‘Looking Back’, is an expression of gratitude for the community that shaped many of his friends and a call to action for others to help preserve this important institution.

All funds from the digital album sales will go directly towards helping the club meet its fundraising goal and continue to offer transformative experiences for local youth.

By purchasing the album, fans of Wayne Devlin, supporters of Salford Lads Club, and music lovers alike can contribute to this urgent cause. Devlin’s smooth vocals and timeless repertoire, inspired by the Great American Songbook, provide a fitting tribute to the club’s cultural legacy and its ongoing fight to survive.
