Hugh Mckenna - "ANTHEM" For Alex Harvey.

[@TheJackie2007]

RIP Hugh. You were the greatest band ever.

[@RoyCraggs]

A beautiful, lasting tribute to musicians who we hold dear. Familiar with the original version from my vinyl, this rendition is poignant and moving, considering those members of SAHB who have left the stage. Thank you guys

[@Belfast-Biccy]

Hugh was a massive influence on SAHB's sound, he was unique to my old ears, thanks for all the grooves, even though your gone, I can still enjoy your vibes, Hail Vibrania!

[@frankieirishman]

Thanks Hugh.....from one who was lucky enough to see the band at their peak - putting the boot into the Who at Charlton Football Club in 1976! This song will be a permanent tribute to Alex and what you all achieved musically as a collective. Brilliant....absolutely brilliant.

[@davidayrton7684]

I was there too, great gig

[@JimMorris-sj7hc]

Very moving.

[@tomhatton3303]

Beautiful. A talented man that was in a fantastically talented band. And Fourplay is a wonderful album too. RIP Hugh.

[@jahwelsh1]

This shall be my funeral tune. Respect to Alex and the band and the best representation of beautiful Scotland

[@DonnyHooterHoot]

[@beatvampire]

I played the sahb anthem at my wedding , here in Australia only 2 years ago ,music is endless in its power

[@frankieirishman]

Brilliant...poignant......everlasting tribute.

[@RHR-221b]

A Hymn to Alex (and you, Hugh and your cousin Ted). Hopefully see you playing so beautifully and soulfully again, one of these auld afternoons. RIP. Stay free. R 🎶🍻😎

[@frankkrank3970]

Up in heaven when angels play piano they hope it would surely be as beautiful as this....

[@ToshBryn]

Thank you so much Hugh Mckenna you are a legend

[@kendalbantam]

Much missed... never forgotten... your influence increases each day... a true legend....thank you Alex. We love you. Vambo Rools in my city.

[@dougquidam1258]

How beautiful was that? Wow, brought a tear to my eye. Always loved this song. Can still hear the bagpipes when I listen to this version.

[@marshallweaver6899]

Beautiful, loved those boys.

[@92bluestrat]

Sad and somber, takes me back to SAHB's glory yrs, my 20's and a plethora of great times. Thank you Mr McKenna, this is truly a work of art. I'm sure Alex is looking down with his classic trademark smile. Anthem indeed.

[@bradmagic1]

Thank you Hugh. Thanks for the tears.

[@RHR-221b]

RIP Hugh, Ted and Alex. Stay free S H B. R 🍻😎

[@frankkrank3970]

Makes me smile and cry at the same time !

[@limeyperson]

Sensational...like the band

[@roycraggs3822]

Sublime piece of music, even without the considerable vocal input of Alex, and also Vicky Silva. I wish I had heard this song performed live back in the heyday of SAHB, but this rendition is a treat. RIP Hugh, and thank you.

[@vermonation]

Beautiful...first tears of the day.....

[@bcantlon]

Thanks Hugh for an amazing version of Anthem. I can only imagine the love in the room when you played this at Alex's funeral. The SAHB has always been near and dear to my heart. Thank you for all the great music! It must have been a treat to work with an amazing singer/songwriter and band. I was fortunate to see the band in Cleveland, Ohio a couple of times. Take care my friend.

[@92bluestrat]

so many memories

[@johndudley7299]

Wonderful tribute to the great showman.

[@timmytd1064]

Awesome Hugh! Sounds so good!

[@chefhardknocks884]

Beautiful. Play this at my funeral.

[@colinspics]

The more I listen to this the more I think YOU were the SOUND of SAHB. OK. Zal was a guitarist to die for and everybody else was BRILLIANT too!! Maybe these were just MY fave songs.

[@TheJohnjc1]

Well done Hugh. A great tribute to a musical icon.

[@rjmacf0015]

Such a touching tribute delivered by the composer, now gone along with Alex and Ted. This will be heard a quite a few celebrations of lives lost in the coming decades. Thank you Hugh, Alex Ted, Chris and Zal for such wonderful music and to Victy Silva (not Vicky) for the original backing vocal on the Impossible Dream. Indeed "I'm worried now but I won't be worried long".

[@kinghornclassics]

What a wonderful tribute great to see and heard you play Hugh made my day :)

[@127cmore]

R.i.p. Hugh McKenna

[@grahamwilson660]

😢

[@philturner1242]

Thank you Hugh. Listening to this bought tears to my eyes. Ohh, the memories of being 17, in my first job after leaving school and buying the album when it came out. Thanks to Alex and the guys for making my teens that much more bearable - RIP Alex.

[@russellge59]

Sends shivers down my spine. What a classic piece of beautiful music. Just love it. Thanks for all the great music you have brought into my and so many others lives Hugh.

[@3mondas]
