Scottish stars of stage and screen release moving tribute to NHS and key workers

Scottish stars of stage and screen have released a moving tribute to NHS and key workers.

John Barrowman, Elaine C Smith and Alex Norton together with almost 30 Scottish West End performers have joined forces for a special cover of Beautiful City from Stephen Schwartz’s musical Godspell.

The music video is interspersed with tribute messages to the NHS and key workers working across the UK.

Produced by Scots in the City, the video was the idea of Kieran Brown, a West End performer and co-founder of Scots in the City.

He said: “Whilst the NHS charity is highlighted, we would like to dedicate the video to every one of our key workers who have kept the country going – from delivery drivers, shop workers and postal staff, to bin men, lorry drivers and teachers … the list is endless. We owe all of you a huge debt and this is a thank you to each and every one of you.

“Alongside our stars who have given their time and talent, I’d also like to thank James Doughty for creating the original track, Ben Dovey for his gorgeous orchestrations, Tom Crofton Green for violin skills, Chris Matanle for artwork, and Ben Hewis for stitching it all together and making it look and sound so moving.”

The full list of Scots taking part is Stephen Ashfield, John Barrowman, Kieran Brown, Ronan Burns, Sabrina Carter, Elaine C. Smith, Steven Cree, Gillian Ford, Lyndsey Gardiner, James Gillan, Celia Graham, Alasdair Harvey, Jacqueline Hughes, Keith Jack, Adam Lake, Maggie Lynne, Mary Mac, Jai MacDowell, Lisa Mathieson, Matt McKenna, John Mclarnon, Gavin Mitchell, Alex Norton, George Rae, Emma Ralston, Jennifer Tierney, George Ure, Shona White, Natalie Williams, Lisa Anne Wood and Jordan Young.
