Band stuck in lockdown create emotional You'll Never Walk Alone tribute to healthcare workers

A world-class brass band was stuck in lockdown and faced an empty schedule - so created this beautiful tribute to the healthcare workers across the globe facing the biggest crisis in decades.

Belgian outfit Brassband Willebroek, who have picked up numerous accolades including winning the World Music Contest in 2017, decided to pay their respects to those on the frontline against coronavirus.

The band had been rehearsing from home over video messenger and used technology to create a beautiful rendition of the Gerry Marsden classic.

Posting on Facebook, the band said: "Our musicians are staying home as well. Unfortunately we see many of our concerts and rehearsals being cancelled due to the coronavirus (COVID-19). But we still can rehearse through this way!

"We hope everyone is safe, that’s way more important at this moment. This version of You’ll Never Walk Alone is for all health care workers and other heroes around the world."

The video was made by each individual band member recording their piece separately before it was edited into one beautiful rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone.

The video ends with the band raising a toast to the heroics of healthcare workers across the world.
