‘The Days of Pearly Spencer’, 50th Anniversary
On 6th October 2017, exactly 50 years to the day since this classic song was first broadcast, Belfast singer-songwriter Mandy Bingham has paid tribute to her late father David McWilliams by releasing her own version. Mandy enlisted the inimitable Michael Mormecha of Millbank Studios, Lisburn as producer. Also featured are the amazing Arco String Quartet, Graham Bingham on lap steel guitar, Edelle McMahon on electric guitar, and Mormecha himself on drums.
Mandy and Graham’s daughter Lola adds a striking contribution to the backing vocals, making this new version a unique three-generational offering.
Thanks to The Arts Council Of Northern Ireland for their generous support and Colm Laverty for making the video.
