Watch: Hail Mary by Boyce & Stanley with Sign and Movement
CJM Music have just released this beautiful setting of the Hail Mary by Chris Rolinson - from Boyce & Stanley's Christmas album: The Promise. The prayer is interpreted in British Sign Language and movement by Kevin Atkinson and Danielle Walker of More Than Dance - a company based in the North East, which runs workshops around the country in school and community groups.

This album is a unique mixture of well-known Christmas favourites and Boyce & Stanley classics. There are uplifting tracks combined with imaginative pieces and meditative ballads as well as a little satirical humour at the expense of the current commercialism.
Arrangements and production by Craig McLeish bring great depth to this album which also features some superb musicianship - including Ben Castle on saxophone on 'Glory to the Lord'.
