Featuring some of the Nessmp3 all-stars as well as Studio 9 stalwart drummer Alex Gardarsson, this video footage was taken by Hank McGregor in his travels through Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival 2008. He happened to capture (beautifully) this footage of Maria Hall, as well as some of the Nessmp3.com stars Estrella and Stevie "Retro" Smith on Harmonica. Also Gavin deKlerk is seen in the hand drum footage, who played on Maria's Album Her Spirit is Free, released last year. Jeremy, as always plays a blinding solo on electric guitar.
After submitting a video to the Cyberjam Club, a YouTube group who interchange and co-create music performance videos, Maria was contacted by one of the American members. He was talking with a member from the South of Scotland (Hank) who recognised Maria as the singer in the footage he had taken. Through this tenuous connection we obtained a DVD that Hank kindly sent us. Jeremy edited the footage and here it is.
Maria wrote the song Hey Ho when she realised that her marriage was failing and that it was time to go. Giving in gracefully rather than trying to hang on.
