About 12 years ago Rob wrote a once in a lifetime song called Birthday.

I was, along with anyone who heard it blown away with it's direct power and pathos.

I toured the UK with Rob solo doing sound whilst the song was in the repertoire and the reaction was always the same, stunned and uplifted at the same time. Someone was addressing that taboo stuff finally.

I talked to Rob about donating the song to NSPCC (link on EBB site) and he came up with the incredible idea that Larry Adler might want to contribute harmonica to the recording. I thought that the resultant project would be huge and benefit NSPCC greatly.

By the time Rob called Larry he had died, 10 years later.

I know that great things are slow in creation but it's a great pity no one will hear the song.
