The song has been recorded with the help of some fabulous musicians and singers who are fellow B.I.M.M. students including William “Billy” Bell, Sarah Featherston, Danny Heath, and Nicola Tuffy. I got the chance to go spend the afternoon with these talented individuals during rehearsals and I was blown away by them. So thank you, each and every one of you. You left a permanent imprint on a very important song, making it richer by your presence.
Thank you to Louis Lawson and Aimee Fordham, the engineers who made it sound so good.
And finally thank you to B.I.M.M. for providing the space for rehearsals and for creating such an incredible environment for musicians to collaborate. Without this kind of access, this song would never have come into being.
