Yesterday marked the 1st anniversary of the day of the Manchester city bombings which affected not only the victims of the
Ariana Grande concert but their families, the wider community and had such a marked impact around the UK and beyond. Shortly after the bombings I completed this song called "
A Simple Kindness" which I have dedicated to the actions and gestures of the people of Manchester who responded to the tragedy and provided help, comfort and generosity of spirit towards people affected directly. Such actions are bold gestures in times of great difficulty and I salute all those with that spirit of human kindness in this recording.
The recording was completed in February 2018 with the wonderful skills of
Keith Goddard on bass,
Angus Bishop on drums and
Dave Bee Bee as studio engineer in his excellent new studio facilities in Seaford. The piano is a Yamaha C5 and is kept in beautiful order by Dave. Thanks to all concerned for helping record this and I hope you enjoy listening to the track. Please leave your comments on the blog!
