Hayling Island is a gorgeous haven near where we live, and home to The Station Theatre, Hayling Island Folk And Acoustic Club and other musical places we love to play. John taught there in the late 70s and early 80s.
John wrote The Island Song for a class assembly in 1979, recorded on 4 track cassette……. Chris and I pledged to learn it for our show at The Station Theatre as a homage to the local area. A discussion broke out on Facebook about it, with people far and wise remembering it!
Accompanied by some fantastic old footage of Hayling Island, enjoy this video of John’s class of ’79 piece The Island Song.

I love this, and I love how John’s songs bring out the memories of all the people he’s inspired over the years!
