The Shadowcasters – Albatross Live @ the Old Barn Sedan (Foreword by Dion)

Albatross was originally recorded by Fleetwood Mac in 1968 and was their only UK No.1. It was later covered by Hank Marvin and the Shadows.It holds special significance for Dion and the Shadowcasters, as it was Dion’s mother’s favourite song. This is our version. It was recorded live at the Old Barn Sedan SA on 01 September 2019. The film clip itself is a visual diary of that day, and includes photos by Glenn Parsons, Rachel Elliott and Peter Kowald.Dion has very kindly allowed me to create a short foreword that explains why this song is so important to him. The clip is available on Youtube at: https://youtu.be/iB0uzhzZVfwPlease like, share and subscribe.Don’t forget we are playing six shows at the 2020 Adelaide Fringe Festival:www.adelaidefringe.com.au Thanks for watching, Baz
