Like most people right now, musicians are finding new ways to be creative and connect with the world. With live streams and daily song challenges aplenty, we’ve taken extra note of AJIMAL’s brand new video for touching single ‘Above All Else, Be Kind’. The Newcastle-born, London-based multi-instrumentalist aka Fran O’Hanlon is spreading a message of positivity through a collaborative video that features musicians Rachel Sermanni, Hazel Wilde (Lanterns on the Lake), MF Tomlinson, Eliza Shaddad, Irwin Sparkes (Hoosiers, White Tail Falls), Hinako Omori, Edd Gibson (Friendly Fires), Paul Thomas Saunders (who also works as a paramedic), Sophie Jamieson, Lucy Rose, Guy Massey, Emily Hoile (Harpist with a variety of orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic), Nic Crawshaw (Los Bitchos, who also works as a physio in hospital), Ed Riman (Hilang Child), Tommy Ashby, Novo Amor, Charles Watson, as well as healthcare workers across the UK, including hospital medics, infectious disease specialists, geriatricians, nurses, a kidney specialist, GPs, paramedics and anaesthetists. The beautiful merging of musicians and medical staff reminds the viewer that we’re all in this together, and to above all else, be kind. - Hannah Thacker
