In 2017, Rob Mellor put out a call on Facebook for musicians to contribute to a benefit CD for Syria Relief. He stipulated that each track feature a homemade instrument. Gabe and Russell had a slew of homemade instruments, but no vocalist. On the other side of the pond, Bridget's elastic band creations looked pretty, but were duds to sing with.

B and G, having previously joined musical forces with Spirits Burning were happy pooling resources. So, via the power of the Internet plus human talent and ingenuity, 'Sorrow' was created and included on 'One String Inspiration'. Released on Submarine Broadcasting Company, the label Rob formed for the project, the CD caught the eye of, and has been included in the British Library Archive. Rob then dubbed us Bridget Wishart and the Band of Doctors. Though, in truth, Bridget and Gabe are mere Masters and try hard not to feel diminished in Russ and the Collective’s ‘Doctorly’ company.
