Still Standing - Debut album by Will Page - (compact disc)
This album has taken me back to my roots! I really enjoyed leaning into my early years experience in more traditional folk music with the instrumentation, playing style and arrangements. The concept of this album, ‘Still Standing’ came from reflecting on all of the many external changes which I’ve navigated in recent years in both my personal and professional lives. Change is constant and inevitable, and we have to roll with the punches, hence the title! This record has been a joy to produce, and has far surpassed my expectations, especially collaborating with none other than the supremely talented Cormac Byrne (bodhrán and percussionist) and legendary Steve Knightley (Show Of Hands)! Also thanks to producer Al for providing a wonderfully relaxed, accommodating and professional recording experience at his studio (Doz Studios) in the rolling hills of the Kent countryside. As always, I would like to thank my friends and family for their amazing support! I hope that this record will inspire you to get up and go!

Strength To Carry On Magazine (8 page)
Discover the full story behind the single Strength To Carry On in this Mini-Mag
This mini-mag tells the story behind the song 'Strength To Carry On'; the incredible story of Doris Page (pen name Ann Armstrong) who despite being paralysed by Polio disease from the neck down for thirty years of her life, went on to write and publish books (BBC published) and magazines, typing with her toes, to champion support for disabled people to live independently. For all her bravery and work in journalism, Ann was awarded an MBE by Queen Elizabeth II, and more recently a blue plaque was mounted on her former home in Newbury in Spring 2022 to commemorate her as a person of significant historical importance. Ann was Will's Grandmother.
This mini-mag includes the story of Ann Armstrong, plus photos and an original extract from her famous 'Responaut' magazine (a pre-internet community platform for disabled people to share their stories together) plus lyrics to the song and a QR code on the front which you can scan with a smart phone to stream the track on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer and more!
