This is Episode 17 of Stranger Tunes, a series in which I get a few strangers to play along to a song I send them. These people also have no idea who they’re playing with until the episode comes out.
This episode's strangers include:
Emily Hampson - Vocals and Piano
Maya McCourt - Cello
Beth Balmer - Viola
Russ Scagell - Violin
Steve Amadeo - Bass
Josh Hampson - Drums
Mixed and mastered by Dave Draper
This song is also on the film ONCE (starring Marketa Irglova and the song's writer Glen Hansard) which I highly recommend. The scene where they play this song is just perfect, with the icing on the cake being the engineer's change of enthusiasm.
In this episode we are supporting Play for Progress, a charity which taps into the healing power of music, the arts, play, and creative therapies to build healthy and resilient relationships which nourish, support, and amplify the voices of unaccompanied minor refugees and asylum-seekers.
