“Skerryvore” Video Tribute to NHS Workers - Scotlandby Christine Johnstone |
 |
 “Skerryvore” (which includes brothers Daniel on accordion and Martin Gillespie on pipes, whistles and accordion - picture below) have recorded a special single and video as a tribute to NHS workers fighting the coronavirus.The band was devastated to announce they had to cancel their 15th Anniversary concert at Inveraray Castle in June this year due to Covid-19. All tickets purchased will be refunded 100% in the next 10-14 days by the ticket platform Eventbrite. They wanted to move on with positivity, and look to the future with hope and optimism - hence this new recording. The single entitled “Everyday Heroes”, which was arranged, mixed and mastered by Scott Wood of Skerryvore will be released this week on Tyree Records and was written by accordionist and piper Martin Gillespie. Twenty other musicians joined in the recording including players from Mànran (which features accordionist Gary Innes - picture left). Because of the lockdown, the single and video were recorded remotely, in isolation, at various locations. All proceeds will go to the NHS Charities Covid-19 Urgent Appeal and they ask everyone to give it a listen and support this worthy cause. Donation details are on the Skerryvore website.
