I've got something I want to share with you. When we decided to do Pellow Talk, I didn't just want to do a book. I wanted to give you a new record, new videos, and new photography so that everything came together. Dante's Prayer was very much inspired by my love for Scotland. That's resonated even more deeply these past few weeks, following the death of the Queen at Balmoral. I was in Scotland when that happened but didn't want to say anything for a little while, so as to be respectful of what had happened. I hope you all understand.
The Dante's Prayer video was sent to people who'd bought the tartan edition of Pellow Talk - and the feedback was incredible. People from the UK, North America and around the world were deeply moved by the music and the strong Scottish theme. The truth is, people were so connected with what we'd done that I wanted to share it with everyone, so that you can all enjoy it. I thought I should also share the comments from some of the people who received Dante's Prayer and I've listed them below. I'm really thrilled that people have got so much from it and that it moved them, the way it moved me. It's incredible to hear and I'm grateful to everyone who's been in touch.
So here it is, here's Dante's Prayer. Let me know what you think in the comments. I'll read those to see whether people like it. If enough people are into it, maybe we'll have to do a version on the Pellow Talk tour.Love to Love Marti x

"I was finally able to watch it after I got home from work today. "Dante's Prayer", what can I say, everything about it is beautiful. The photography, the music, the song, Marti, of course, and what a beautiful tribute to his Scottish homeland. I absolutely loved it and I had tears streaming down my face while watching it. I can't wait for the book to arrive."
Lynne Hale: Dudley, West Midlands
"I watched the video to Dante's Prayer the music and scenery are breath taking and the song itself is so moving. I love, love it. Well done Marti xx Can't wait to read the book and hear the whole thing. Thank you for everything and keep them coming. Love, lynne xx"
Anne McGarva, UAE
"Thank you for the preview video of Dante's prayer. Not only was the song brilliant but the scenery has made me so homesick. I am currently working in the Gulf with the Royal Navy but will be taking my 'Christmas' leave at the end of October because Marti will be performing his Pellow Talk in my home town at the beginning of November and I am excited to have my tickets. Kind regards, Anne."

"Thank you for your email reply. Really can't wait as a fan of 35 years. Dante's Prayer is magical. I've got my VIP for May. Sadly never met Marti in all these years, though done all the concerts over the years. So this is going to be very moving."
