Produced by Phil Mursell, the video was shot at St. Columba’s College Junior School, St. Albans, Herts., on May 24th 2013. Our thanks to the school for inviting us. Special thanks are due too to Michael Heralda, who wrote and recorded the music - go to his site (link below) for more information on his work on the Mexica in the USA...
