Maybe not the best known song containing Gibraltar but in this post we start off with Gibraltar by Maxi Priest. You might be more familiar with \u201cRock of Gibraltar\u201d by Frankie Laine.\u00a0 If you would like to reacquaint yourself with this song about a brush salesman, click here<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video below was recorded in 2016 and as you will be able to see was filmed on the rock a few days before his first public performance on the song at the Gibraltar Music Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wrote the song, he said, for many different reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a kid I remember my mother always used to say to me \u2018you\u2019ve got to be solid as the Rock of Gibraltar\u2019 and we just kind of took it because it had a ring to it but not really knowing the full meaning to it. Then coming here and its history immediately made me click\u2026 in a funny way emotionally, it is something your parents said to you and you\u2019d use it, you\u2019d say it but you never really quite understood exactly what it meant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
