HOPE is a collaborative piece written and produced by Nick Wood with musical contributions from Grammy-nominated Julian Lennon, Japan’s mega-hit producer Tetsuya Komuro, and Grammy-winning record producer John Jones, to raise money for the ongoing recovery effort after the earthquake and resulting tsunami that hit northern Japan on March 11, 2011. HOPE will be presented at the British Embassy’s “Road to Recovery” event on March 8th.
