This video was recorded entirely at home in isolation by Down for the Count, The City String Ensemble and a few special guests. It's our version of "Let's Face the Music and Dance" (Irving Berlin), originally arranged for Nat 'King' Cole by Billy May. Our version has been transcribed and adapted by our musical director Mike Paul-Smith and the video was edited by Sophie Poteratchi. We suggest you watch it at least 3 times so you don't miss any of the best bits ;-)
