Blood Is Blood teaser

A song written with Ben Robbins in half a day to a brief for an ad pitch. It was all done and dusted by lunchtime, and over a celebratory Guinness we called on our mate, the brilliant violinist Anna Phoebe to come put some of her magick down.
It may form part of an ongoing writing project, but for now we hope you enjoy.
