20 years ago, a tragedy happened in London
which informed the writing of this song about
how people had started to
lose sense of unity & companionship
20 years on, do you feel closer or more separated from those around you?
#77 we’ve got to learn to love our neighbour

Stornoway’s instrumentation is inspired by a huge array of influences… the harmonium Jon plays in our #unplucked versions is from South India, and Tom on trumpet is trained in how to play the #shehnai. Did you know he’s also just released a book!? visit linktr.ee/thomashodgson
