    Love the way Hazel leaves the stage and let’s the saxophone take over

    I played the saxophone as a kid and my dad would always play this song in the car and it would inspire me to keep practising hoping that one day I’d be able to play that solo. He sadly passed away a few years back, listening to it now brings back such fond memories.

    I have not heard this song for 30 years yet it still managed to move me to tears. The sax solo at the end is without a shadow of doubt the most moving. Beautifully played. The song is stunning and very well put over by Hazel O'connor. Thank you both for an amazing blast from the past. Peter.

    Claire is not only a brilliant musician, she is also a good person. I needed sax on my Uni project a couple of years ago but had no money to offer. She gave up her afternoon, paid her own travel costs, brought my studio project to life and answered all my miriad of questions about playing Live Aid. And she certainly is a phenominal musician

    What a gracious moment from Hazel. Her vocals are not the entirety of this track but they are integral. She left the Sax to speak its own emotions after she had delivered hers. Beautiful. I remember seeing the move Breaking Glass and then buying the album when it’s was first released and I’m still moved by the music and Hazels voice.
