Video: First gig back after my brother was taken seriously ill last year

[Ramirez]

Nearly a year ago my brother, and our singer, suffered a stroke live on stage at a festival. For a while we wondered if we'd ever get to play a gig again. Luckily, that chance came last friday!

A filmmaker friend brought his camera along, and I arranged to record the set. We put together someof the footage and mixed a brand new song that we played.

It was the hottest day ever, but in my 20 years of being in this band, it's the gig I'm most glad to have been able to do, and I know this video will be something to look back at and cherish as long as I live.

Hope you enjoy!

Da iawn, @Ramirez.  Very pleased to hear that your brother is back in action after such a serious health problem.

That was cracking. Glad your brother is back up to gigging strength.

Glad your brother is doing good Ramirez, it’s not my normal genre of music but that’s superb, excellent all round

Lovely and an uplifting story. Thanks for sharing.

[Ramirez]

Thanks all! It was a special night for us.

 

That's also the first time we ever played that song live - it's about the time in hospital following the stroke.
