Prior's Court go to Abbey Road
I made this!
About a year or so ago, I was involved in the recording of a song with my old work, which was released on World Autism Day. I left there in September after ten years of being a teacher, basically. Two weeks after I left there was a traffic collision on the return of one of the work placement trips that I was responsible for. Three staff were killed (including two of whom I directly line managed) and two severely injured, so it was bitter-sweet to be given the opportunity to re-record this song in a live setting at Abbey Road. All of the children involved in the accident were there, as well as the fire service who supported on the day. A bit of a surreal experience, really, and this documentary/song is now dedicated to them.
I didn't 'make' this, but I played the guitar and did a bit of singing, so I'm taking the credit.

Er, blimey.
That's a rough thing to deal with. Bearing up OK now?
Edit: Just watched the vid; they are doing incredible work - what a tremendous organisation.

Yeah, thanks.
I think there was about three days of shock, then a couple of weeks of disbelief. One of those things really. You end up asking yourself lots of "what if?" questions, but it's just one of those cases of wrong place, wrong time. They were all great people too. It's never the wankers that shuffle off early, is it?

Apparently not.
And as I type that, I can visualise Farage climbing out of a crashed aeroplane.

Simultaneously satisfying and disappointing
