The Singing Rebels Band ?
« on: September 05, 2009, 05:22:03 PM »
The Singing Rebels Band , did George write this song " Freedom" that was used in the film Water (1985) ?
It's nice to see George and Ringo playing together in this film  :)

That was cool seeing them together again! But what kind of movie is that?? It seems crazy random!

never saw that - thank you

did some googling and found that george produced this film

also, 'the rebels' was supposedly the name of george's pre-beatles group with his brother

According to IMDb the song was written by Eric Clapton / Ian La Frenais (1984) George wrote two songs for the film Celebration and Focus Of Attention both from (1984)
Don't know either of thses songs , the DVD of this comedy film is avalible from Amazon .
It's a long time since i've seen this film but i think it was quite a fun movie , it's got Michael Caine and Leonard Rossiter in it which good casting as well as Billy Conolly , might be worth getting the DVD ?
George's Handmade Films produced it , looks like he was quite involved in this film more so than his others  :)
