The Diocese of East Anglia Ignite Youth Team have recorded a song, as a prayer for peace in Ukraine, set to the traditional Irish melody Londonderry Air.
Director of the Diocesan Youth Service, Hamish MacQueen, recorded A Prayer for Peace In Ukraine, set to the traditional Irish tune Londonderry Air, which many people know as the song Danny Boy. Hamish, who wrote the words, said: “I’m sure I’m not alone when I feel helpless at seeing the horrific suffering in Ukraine – but one thing we can do is pray! We hope this song helps people – young and old – to pray for peace in Ukraine.” Hamish was joined by his teenage daughter Trinity, a student at Notre Dame High School in Norwich and a member of St George’s Parish on vocals and on piano by Ray Travasso from St Mary’s, Woodbridge Road, Ipswich.
