New video: "Homage to Catalonia," live in Barcelona
Hi friends, There's a new video up: "Homage to Catalonia," played live outside Dr. Flow in Barcelona. Watch "Homage to Catalonia" live → And if you haven't subscribed to my YouTube channel yet, you can do that here. It's free, it's one click, and it really helps the videos get seen. I wrote this one on a friend's balcony in Barcelona, watching the Catalan pensioners who turn out to protest every Monday. The melody is borrowed from an old Catalan folk tune. It's the title track of the new album. Thank you to Richard Barrillet (sound and mixing), Jean-Baptiste Courtois (video) and Leo Laluet (assistant producer).
Thanks for watching and have a great weekend! — Bradley |
