Julian – new song and video

I’m having real trouble trying to get my source files working now Google groups have changed the way they operate. So I have dumped my video on Youtube.

I wrote this song in June but it has taken me a while to get the video sorted out. It’s difficult to get non copyright video and my video camera has packed up which doesn’t help. The Morris dancers are from Adlington and I took the footage with my normal camera.

The music was composed first and then I added the lyrics. Most of the lyrics are titles from books that I have read – a bit quirky but it seems to work. Most of the pictures are other peoples, some I can identify the owner some I can’t and I thank them all.

Malc Battle took the pics of Manchester.

Caroline Hocking took the pics of the tattoos.

The authors of the books are:

Eric Hobsbawn, John Gray, Simon Gray, Louis de Bernieres,Patrick Hamilton, Gore Vidal and Elizabeth Baines.

Not quite sure what I am going to do with this blog now as Google are ceasing certain elements of Google groups. Maybe this is the last post!!!
