Walking with Heroes, Paul Lovatt-Cooper. Brass Band

Walking With Heroes

The idea behind the title is that as humans we remember great people living and passed who have touched our lives and have made a big impact on how we lead our lives: people like our loved ones, family members, friends and even religious leaders and celebrities.  They have either taught us, helped us to understand or lead their lives by example and in our eyes, are heroes.  We look up to these people and remember them as heroes.  Their spirit and influence stays with us wherever we are.  Thus, we are "Walking with Heroes".

Paul Lovatt-Cooper
