Gaz Coombes has shared a new version of ‘Long Live The Strange’.
The revered British songwriter recently completed another sold out nationwide tour, dipping into his evergreen catalogue. When Gaz Coombes visiting Birmingham, the team from The Choir With No Name sent him an invite.
The organisation run safe singing communities with people impacted by homelessness and marginalisation, and their Birmingham choir linked with Gaz Coombes. Inviting to join the venerable songwriter – and his band – at the Mill in Digbeth, a pre-gig run through saw the musicians radically alter his solo gem ‘Long Live The Strange’.
A wonderful performance, it’s a truly special moment and has just been released online. Gaz Coombes comments:
“It was such a pleasure to meet and spend time with the brilliant folks from The Choir With No Name. There was a lot of love in the room that afternoon and their energy and joyous performance elevated the track even higher. I’m so happy we got to do this together. I look forward to seeing all the guys again soon…..and maybe do another song!”
The Choir With No Name add something different to the performance, another aspect of emotion and colour. Choir member Steve said: “Singing with Gaz and his band was totally out of this world, one of the best experiences of my life! He made us all feel very comfortable and relaxed, a real worldwide superstar!”
Tune in now.
