Dan Gebski fulfilled a life-long dream and is encouraging others to do the same
A man originally from Poland is marking 20 years of living in Northern Ireland by recording a song and creating a music video showing some of his favourite spots.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Dan told us about his move to Northern Ireland. He said: "I'm originally from Poland and in 2004, Poland joined the European Union, and that's when the borders were open to foreign nationals from Eastern Europe. Dan's recording of Free Fallin' came about in collaboration with musicians from Northern Ireland and across the border, with recording taking place in Carlingford. Polish videographer, Wojciech Palka, compiled drone shots of some famous spots around Northern Ireland including the Giant's Causeay and Antrim Coast, to create a stunning video to go alongside it.
"That was always my childhood dream and I've finally fulfilled that. I'm 45 now, so I was waiting for over 40 years to do so - it was something I was always dreaming of doing. He said: "I remember 20 years ago I had to work towards where I am now. I think it's very important to first of all do what you love and fulfil your dreams, but second of all, I'd like to show the people who have maybe only been here for five or seven years, not everything is going easy for us, but there's always light at the end of the tunnel. We have to be able to dance in the rain.
