Hi Marty, thanks for your kind comment. Wesley really does take this song to another level, his tone, technique, and emotion throughout the song, whilst (to my ears) drawing inspiration from the soprano sax is truly outstanding. I was 11 yrs old when this song was released and it turned my head! Cheers Stuart
It is belated satisfaction to see this great song from Hazel O'Connor, and Wesley Mc Googan's in particular, finally getting the attention and recognition it deserves. He lets his saxophone breathe, cry, whimper, screech and flatter like only a gifted person can. Wesley Mc Googan has smashed a post that nobody can get past. This song has accompanied me on the "playlist of my life" since the 80s and is unmatched when it comes to playing the saxophone. I would like to hear that live from the really great house band of a Berlin club, whose often great gigs I regularly attend on Mondays, and asked them about it. My wish has not yet come true, but maybe it's better that way, because in view of the extraordinary class of Wesley's performance, it can only fail ... The song with all its nuances burned itself into my brain every time I listened to it again, that it just has to be this one recording that nobody else and probably Wesley himself can no longer top or even achieve again. This right here: th-cam.com/video/nHjS53Z6Jj4/w-d-xo.html
OMG , as a 56 year old guy who fell in love with the original all those many decades ago, you guys have just blown away and back to my youth, my love of the sax 🎷 had crying with joy then and you guys have done it again for me, Thank you 🙏 from the bottom of my heart. The clarity of the vocals is above and beyond, the guitar sync couldn’t have been better, and of course the Alto Sax 🎷 was absolutely immensely breathtaking. God bless each and every one of you, stay safe guys and Lady 🥇😘😘😘
I'm 60 and was lucky to see Hazel live a dozen times in the early 80's. Duran Duran were her support band would you believe? Wesley on the sax was so emotional. Happy memories. You certainly win with this one. Great to see the younger generation appreciating Wesley's classic.
Hi Karl, That sounds like an amazing line up and I've never saw Hazel or Wes live! I was only 11yrs old when this song was released and it made an impact on my life. Wes is simply outstanding and his creativity and musicianship in this composition is incredible. So glad to hear it brought back happy memories for you, that's the power of music. Thanks for your comment and take care. Cheers Stu
I have only just found this Gem,you rolled back so many years for me that tears are streaming from my eyes...so emotional absolutely wonderful many thanks.
@@stumusic sorry for late reply hairs stand on the back of my neck hearing your rendition and hazel singing my brother in laws brother played with hazel part of breaking glass album
Hi Tony, Cheers man, it really is an emotional piece and that's the power of music! That's so so cool to have a family member feature on such an iconic album 😎😎
That's the first time in my life music has had such a profound effect on me that incredible saxophone playing made me cry at the sheer beauty of it, thanks so much sir your a truly talented man.
Hi Mark, Thanks so much for your comment, truly appreciate that. The power and beauty of music is such an incredible force of nature! All the best, Stu
Hello, Ashley's Allotment Diary, Thanks so much for your comment and great to hear that you are playlisting it, brilliant! Enjoy, it really is a great track. Cheers, Stu
Just stumbled across this. God !! How good is the sax cover of Wes's masterpiece. If i were to achive the ability to play that line so well i would probably get a statue made of myself 😁😁 great work, and also the rest of the guys. Great version
Haggis Head; thank you! That is a great name, love it!!! Thanks for your comment and, yeah, Wes is the Master.... End of. All the best to ya sir 😎 Cheers Stuart
awesome guys,,,absolutely fab. My favourite song from a brilliant era. just about spot on Wes is sadly missed. Hazel I had the greatest pleasure of meeting a couple of years ago. saw her in 1980 at Plymouth Poly and 40 years later...had a great chat. This version is just about there...
Being a young teenager in the 80's and hearing this for the first time I was blown away by the song, the artist (Hazel), and especially the amazing sax that keeps coming back at you throughout the track. It used to send chills down my spine every time I heard it. I know this rendition is first class as it gave me those chills again. Top class rendition of a classic song, well done all you did it more than justice.10 /10 for the sax, you nailed it.
Fabulous I really love this song always have, I wish Hazel a speedy recovery saw her In Killarney a couple of years ago well probably 10 years ago, I hope she is ok.
Hey man, Cheers so much, it really is a great wee tune. After a 20+ year gap from playing this tune, it all came flooding back and in time for your birthday, ha ha.....
There are some songs that stay with you for ever. This is one of those. As someone who loves folk music with a passion, it is slightly bizarre that my favourite song of all time is from an 80's punk film! I saw the film at the cinema when a student in the 80's, and went and bought the vinyl because of this song - I still have it to this day. The fact that its out of genre for me, speaks to the beauty and artistry that went into this. Great to see this cover, brought it all back. You play it with a mastery, a lightness of touch, and the passion that the song deserves. I like the slight variation from the original at the 'say goodnight' bit. There has always been a debate between my father and myself as to best saxophone solo ever, he is in the Baker St camp, I am in the Will You camp. I reckon that this version scores a win for my side! Well done. Played it a dozen times already with the volume set to maximum!
Hi Richard, Thanks you so much for your kind words and so soooo glad you are enjoying it at full blast! As you state, there are some songs that stay with you forever and for me too, this is one of them. In addition to this, I'd agree with you, I'm in the Will You camp over Baker Street. Enjoy, and thanks again Sir! Regards, Stuart
@@stumusic that middle eight is a bitch your fingers have too move as fast as you can think certainly a challenge but when you hit those sweet notes it sends shivers down your spine ,keep blowing those notes mate you are good
Hi Adrian, Yip, it is a tricky composition and I've got a long way to go to get anywhere near Mr Magoogan's solo, but thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate that. Stu
Stuart I am very privileged to have met you socially, and heard you play the pipes quite a few times over the years, while attending venues but can I say you are a dark horse, with reference to the sax . thank you 🙏.
this is beautiful, but please recheck the harmony near "Politely" at 0:38 for example , the chords are wrong, I'm not near a keyboard but my trained ear feels something is wrong there so I'm politely feel obliged to tell you that this needs to be fixed, especially since everything else is so beautifully played!
Hearing "Will You" on the radio just now reminded me of seeing Hazel O'Connor perform this live at Rewind South a few years back with Helen Gordon (I believe) on sax, which was spine-tingling, echoing across the meadow and the river with the sun sinking in the background. That then sent me off searching on TH-cam to see if I could find anyone else attempting a live performance of this track and pretty much every result was Hazel herself until I came across this video, and what a treat that was! Although they were very close, I preferred Heather's vocals to Hazel's and your sax was absolutely sublime Stuart, with all the nuance, emotion and expression that was in the original. A beautiful rendition all round. 🥰
Well, I loved this and Breaking Glass back in the day. It’s probably one of my top 5 fav songs ever. I still have the vinyl record. I have to say guys……your cover is absolutely outstanding. So much so that I’m sure Hazel herself will love it. Good luck.
@@stumusic Cheers Stu. I saw Breaking Glass in the cinema when I was about 16 I think. I remember queuing in the rain in Renfield St to get in! No tickets online in those days. Once it was full a guy used to come out with a sign on a stand which said FULL, at which point you had to leave!! Meant to add - your sax is incredible, well done. Do you guys play together much or was this a one-off?
Great sax cover. I've just come from Wes's original and this is equal to his legendary performance. P.s. Something a tad wrong with backing - guitar sounds lazy and there's an incorrect note in there somewhere.
In my opinion for what it's worth. You are way better than Clare Hirst and just as good as Wesley Magoogan . Have you ever heard or tried to play Chris Whites sax solo with Dire straits Romeo and Juliet Wembley1988?
Hi Andrew, Thank you so so much, very much appreciated. Chris White's solo is beautiful in this song, I love tone and his control way up on those high notes! I've never tried this solo, might need to give it a bash now that you've reminded me of it! Mel Collins' solo on Two Young Lovers is another classic in my opinion. All the best to ya sir! Stu
Hi Andy, no we haven't sorry. It was a request during Lockdown so just grabbed these guys for the challenge. There are a few other covers on my channel but none with these guys. Most recent cover with other musicians can be found here: th-cam.com/video/sEoJVb-eGC8/w-d-xo.html Cheers Stu
Hazel is always gonna be awesome and this guy has massive massive boots to fill on saxophone 🎷 pretty good effort but missing the absolute love ❤ injected into the lady who plays it in original but well done 👏 at least you folks did it massive justice and an awesome tribute to Hazel I take my hat 👒 off to you all
Hey Ian, Thanks for your comment, but as you say, massive boots to fill indeed! Mr Wesley Magoogan takes the sax to another level on the original recording and his performance is simply outstanding. Glad you enjoyed our version though 👍
@@stumusicI'm 55 and remember the song well. Your performance took me back to 1981 and brought tears to my eyes, remembering how much better the world was back then. This is a very powerful song and you more than did it justice!
Hi Sweet Georgia Sound, Thank you for that. It's an old 32 which needs a complete overhaul but it still works at the moment ha ha! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for your comment. Cheers, Stuart
You did that solo justice Stuart, well done. I know the score very well indeed (still striving to play it so good). What's your mouthpiece there, Larsen, Yanny? Think Wesley used a Lawton; metal mouthpiece for that tight/focused tone 👍.
@@SaxJockey Hey SaxJockey, Thanks so much for your comment 🙏 I was using an old Selmer Jazz E on this track and was really pushing it as it doesn't have any cut 🎷🎷 Cheers, Stu
I know I have already commented on this awesome video. But the fact that the collaboration was created during the hardest of times ever, they should get a BAFTA for contribution during the dark days of COVID ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brilliant song I often wonder if that song would still be as popular without sax. P.S. I think Wesley would approve
Hi Marty, thanks for your kind comment. Wesley really does take this song to another level, his tone, technique, and emotion throughout the song, whilst (to my ears) drawing inspiration from the soprano sax is truly outstanding. I was 11 yrs old when this song was released and it turned my head!

Thanks for your comment, but as you say, massive boots to fill indeed! Mr Wesley Magoogan takes the sax to another level on the original recording and his performance is simply outstanding. Glad you enjoyed our version though 👍
Very nice. You caught Wesley's raspy reed sound, yet still made it your own. Served the song too. Ace
Thanks very much for that, hugely appreciated :))
Amazing!
Thanks so much Ian, glad you enjoyed it 🎷
@@stumusicI'm 55 and remember the song well. Your performance took me back to 1981 and brought tears to my eyes, remembering how much better the world was back then. This is a very powerful song and you more than did it justice!
Really nice and you you did it on an early YAS 62 Yamaha just like Wesley did
Hi Sweet Georgia Sound,
Thank you for that. It's an old 32 which needs a complete overhaul but it still works at the moment ha ha! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for your comment.
Cheers,
Stuart
@@stumusic oh cool, just going by the keyguard. very nice.
You did that solo justice Stuart, well done. I know the score very well indeed (still striving to play it so good). What's your mouthpiece there, Larsen, Yanny? Think Wesley used a Lawton; metal mouthpiece for that tight/focused tone 👍.
@@SaxJockey Hey SaxJockey,
Thanks so much for your comment 🙏 I was using an old Selmer Jazz E on this track and was really pushing it as it doesn't have any cut 🎷🎷
Cheers,
Stu
Probably one of the greatest sax players ever
Hey Chris,

I know I have already commented on this awesome video. But the fact that the collaboration was created during the hardest of times ever, they should get a BAFTA for contribution during the dark days of COVID ❤❤❤❤❤❤
