If there’s only song, not even an album, one song you need to buy this week, make it this one. Looking at the video, I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen such a great turn out of Irish musicians, bands and singers come together for a cause that was truly worthy.
Elton John’s Tiny Dancer was recording by the group for Lily-Mae Morrisson from Claregalway who suffers from Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. It’s an aggressive cancer of the nervous system. It’s not nice and it’s heartbreaking when you see that it’s a four year old kid who is going through this.
