2 More You-Tubes

Below is a you-tube link to a Stackridge song called 'North St Grande' which was due for Xmas release - however, prior to that, the song has been released on you-tube with animation done by schoolchildren, many with parents in the forces serving abroad on operations.

The notes at the side of the clip explain more - I suggest that you read them first. The messages from the children at the end are very emotional. It is even more poignant in light of yesterdays awful news from Afghanistan


I would also recommend this clip - another song by Stackridge animated in the same style - it is a wonderful interpretation and again, poignancy is added in light of it being the 70th Anniversary of the start of WWII.


Fotr those who have never heard of Stackridge, they are a quintessentially English band, originally formed in the early 70s. They have reformed and the tracks are off their magnificent new album 'A Victory For Common Sense'.
