Steve - So grateful to you for doing this for Alan and I. You really did an AMAZING job of putting it all together. Just love it so much. Feel so honoured that you considered it worthy of a video.

The whole project was an honour. Doing something to thank Gerry - not to mention him actually LIKING it!! Working with so many talented Gerry fans around the world. Singing with ALAN (who has one of the dreamiest voices in the world!)

And the SOOOOO talented YOU, making a video.

Love you

Donna

Steve, thanks for giving me the link to this video, it's a very beautiful song with wonderful singers, they have so lovely and soft voices. Yes, I love this song. The photos in the video are gorgeous. Love, xx

@Novali95 - Knew you would like it, gentle and calming with the sort of photography right up your street. Thanks so much for your comment. :-) xx

Forwarded comment and info on the photo locations by Robert Ryan - Great stuff. For info some of the islands are located on Loch Lomond, Some are taken FROM those islands looking towards Ben Lomond. Incmurrin (The island of St Mirin-patron saint of Paisley) is the largest inland island in the british isles. Other islands in the mix include Arran and Pladda which are on the Clyde Coast- near where the photo of Gerry on the boat appears to be.

That is just GORGEOUS!!!! Don't deprive the world - do another eleven songs of Gerry's and publish it as an album. It would do really well!!

@albainbridge1 - Al, you hit the nail on the head there with that comment, many thanks. Speaking of hitting nails on the head, are you sure about more parrot songs ??? lol Cheers Al, you are a star.

A lovely cover and tribute track for the album, Gerry would've been impressed for sure. Big thumbs up from me !!

[kinavian74]

@YCSMusic - Thanks Steve for that, Gerry actually did get to hear this and was indeed impressed. No, not the angels playing it, but it actually was recorded in 2005. Thanks for your support and that wonderful video you made for Stage Parades, will always be grateful. Steve

The beauty of having two channels is you can feature the same wonderful track on both which is the case here. I am so proud to have been able to be involved in your project albeit 6 years later and hope more people find this FIND. Thanks to Cam for getting the ball rolling by uploading 'Half A Mile' a year ago, sometimes gems go hidden for far too long. Enjoy :-)
