John Lennon Tribute by Paul Speare
Team Beswick and Pye present a tribute to John Lennon on the 80th anniversary of his birth. The music in this film was composed and performed by Paul Speare....
Paul Speare plays flute, baritone sax, tenor sax, and alto sax. You can hear Paul on classic albums including; Too-Rye-Ay by Dexy's Midnight Runners, In The Studio with The Special A.K.A, and Punch The Clock by Elvis Costello & The Attractions. This year he performed on two tracks (More and Old Father Tyme) which appear on Paul Weller's most recent album, On Sunset.
Team Beswick & Pye were delighted to collaborate with the esteemed animator Martin Pickles on a film to accompany Paul's tribute to John Lennon & The Beatles.
Harry says: "Paul composed an amazing piece of music that was full of lovely references to the fab four and George Martin's arrangements. During lock down we began making paintings that we thought would work well with Paul's music. We hope we did him justice."
