Kathy Muir has released a new video for her single “Like Warriors“. There is a really cool story behind this one but I will let Kathy tell her yourself:

The Like Warriors song is about growing up on Edinburgh’s south side, specifically Oxgangs and the High Rise Flats, where I grew up.

These ‘stoney buildings’ were a happy home for many of us kids and our families, before my block and the other two blocks of flats were demolished in the mid 2000’s. Due to an overwhelming response on social media, I had an idea: what if I could ask former residents to help me gather photos from the 60s/70’s so that we could show real images of what I only saw as a child and in my own mind’s eye.

And that’s exactly what happened. People sent photos, wrote stories, discovered old friends on the Like Warriors Facebook Page and the Flickr community helped enormously too.

The Like Warriors has become the community video I always hoped it would be. If it reminds you of anything when you were younger, then great :-).
