Hopefully it'll play with the sound due to copyright infringement!
Cheers to Jim who inspired me to look at the footage and do it.

If only i was a little quicker, got about 4/5 cuttings at home. Never mind, it was still a nice video to watch, quite moving.

Tonight is the first time I have been able to view this and I have to say it brings a whole mixed bag of feelings - joy, pride, anger, regret, pain....
In the overall scheme of things (and as some of our detractors have pointed out) it was only a gig and it wasn't Wembley or anything. But when you consider that the whole team except me was under 25 years of age, putting on a rock concert in a scheduled ancient monument, with absolutely no budget, it was quite an incredible achievement which I am very proud of.
What I am more proud of however, is the group of 4 unique, incredible people I had the privilege of working on this project with.
Everyone thought we were full of shit, that we couldn't possibly get it together and do it. Everybody thought we wouldn't have a clue even HOW to begin doing something like this. Experienced professionals thought it was just 'pie in the sky' and it wouldn't amount to anything.
Over 8 hard months we went through, over, under, around every imaginable obstacle and against seemingly impossible odds we pulled it together.... as a team.
People only see the finished product but can't start to imagine what it took to get there. OR what it cost financially and personally. Myke was on a low wage but took out a loan to get some of the money together. Dale has just finished paying the loan he took out. We put in 12 grand. We all lost our money but got something so important back that was worth every penny....... AND worth the heart attack! We proved to ourselves and anyone else who can be bothered to learn from it, that with passion and determination people can achieve amazing things.
Since then me and Kel have felt the painful effects of Covstock - at 43 I had a heart attack which has changed my life, and the business has struggled due to the loss of our financial 'safety net', but we don't regret a minute of Covstock - nobody can ever take it away from us.
And for all their big words, none of the 'big talkers' in this music scene will ever do anything close to Covstock.
The sad lessons from Covstock though have been that just because you're trying to help a little girl with Cancer, doesn't mean people won't rip you off and just because somebody wears a dog collar, doesn't mean they can be trusted.
Myke, it is a stunning video - thank you for taking the time to do it, it really is greatly appreciated.
I think the best caption of all was the closing caption, and I hope some will take inspiration from it - DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU YOU CAN'T ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS
