Greg has just released a brand new video to accompany his song, The River, which is taken from the 2019 released album, In It Together. The song was beautifully, and sympathetically, recorded and produced by Paul Linale at WRM Studios. The video illustrates the song with equally beautiful visual images. We hope you love it.
The video is dedicated to everyone who works hard to maintain, campaign for, or just enjoys the stunning beauty and majesty of our life giving rivers.
Hello everyone, what a topsy-turvy year it has been.
We hope that you and your loved ones are all keeping safe in these worrying times.
Things on the ‘live’ music scene have been badly affected since the spring, with all Greg's planned concerts since then being cancelled.
Greg was planning to perform a concert on Saturday 14th November to remember the fallen, and to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Coventry Blitz which occurred on the night of 14th November 1940.
Greg wrote a poignant song called November Sky about the events of that night, and Sky Blues TV in Coventry made a moving video (below) to illustrate the song.
The song is based on the first-hand testimony of Francis Alwyn Sweetman, Eric Holt and Valerie Goode.
They lived through the horror of that night to tell their stories and experiences to later generations.
Francis was a policeman out on his beat in the city centre that night as the bombs fell. Eric and Valerie were both nine year old children at the time.
As we approach Remembrance Day this year, please spare a thought for the previous generations who gave so much for the collective good of us all.
And also spare a thought for those bravely fighting a new, unseen enemy, that threatens us all again this year.
Take care everyone... till we meet again.
NOVEMBER SKY
Alwyn Sweetman was dependable and good Did his duty like a constable should When the fire rained down from the November sky Many people in his hometown died
Now Alwyn did the best that he could Digging in the rubble where the pub once stood There was times that night he was on his knees Praying lord spare me, won’t you spare me lord please
And time takes it away A little bit further everyday But time could never disguise The pain that rained from the November sky
Eric Holt just nine years old Lying in a shelter his eyes to behold Tracer arcing into the night sky Landmine falling took his daddy’s life
And time takes it away A little bit further everyday But time could never disguise The pain that rained from the November sky
In a farmhouse on the edge of town Firestorm raging all around Little Valerie cried why god why As St Michael’s lit the Coventry sky
And time takes it away A little bit further everyday But time could never disguise The pain that rained from the November sky
Well from the ashes of that old town There rose a spirit of world renown And that spirit it’ll never die Still we remember that November sky Yes we still remember that November sky
Nightingale taken from the album In It Together
We are delighted to share with you a beautiful, moving song Nightingale, which is taken from Greg's 2019 album In It Together. The song is dedicated to nurses, doctors and carers everywhere. Let us hope that the dedication of all our caring professionals at this time, will be remembered, and fairly rewarded, long after the current crisis is over.
