Former Newland Concert Brass players Fraser West and Alec Dalgleish, now members of the award winning Scottish band Skerryvore, have recorded a new isolation hit single with 20 other musicians from across the country in tribute to NHS workers.

Everyday Heroes

Eb tuba player Peter West, who is a current member of the Bathgate-based Newland Band, also features in the video performance of 'Everyday Heroes' which was written by piper Martin Gillespie. Along with his brother Daniel, Martin is a founder member of Skerrymore, who are regarded as representing the very best of contemporary Scottish traditional music.

'Everyday Heroes' pays tribute to the thousands of NHS staff, volunteers and key workers who are risking so much to fight the Coronavirus. All of the proceeds from the single will go to the NHS Charities COVID-19 Urgent Appeal.

Clap for Heroes

Following on from the release of the single, Skerryvore invited musicians (of any instrument) to join in playing 'Everyday Heroes' during last Thursday's 'Clap for Carers'.

Hundreds of musicians took up the challenge including players from Newland Concert Brass.
