Doncaster band release single in memory of friend who died of coronavirus

The single has been created by a host of musicians and some of Paul’s former students to celebrate his life and achievements.

Each musician recorded themselves individually during lockdown, and the track was then knitted together by Stafford Galli bassist Dom Adams, using Paul’s actual guitar from the band’s sell out show at the Doncaster Leopard in December 2019.

Dom said: “We wanted to remember Paul how everyone else knew him, which was playing his guitar with a huge smile on his face.

"It’s great that we recorded our show at the Leopard, because it certainly helps us stay connected with him and hear his personality shining through in his music.”

Dom went on to add: “Paul was not only a fantastic person and guitar player, but a wonderful teacher too, and we’re happy to be putting this single out to provide future musicians with the opportunity to showcase their talents, with the help of the Music for Youth Charity.”

To purchase the single you can visit Stafford Galli’s website at www.staffordgalli.com/paul-piercy, and find out more about the Music for Youth Charity where proceeds from the sale of the track will be given to.
