Got the recording available. Unfortunately no video. So It's audio only, recorded on a phone but it gives you the essence  :)

Better start practicing for the final  :) May try a couple of others out acoustic.

Cheers

John

Sounding good John! Congrats on the victory again - give it some more in the final. I presume you had strap locks in place so the guitar wouldn't fall while you were doing the high kicks?

Great stuff, John...you did brilliant there - the songs stood up great with only vocals and guitar...

Much admiration here :)

ive never looked in this thread before i thought it was some tv prog people were watching like 'the voice'!
havent you done well john! your voice sounds just as good live as on your recordings its just a pity you cant have all your music backing you like you do here to show them what you can realy do
good luck in the final...what about smoke bombs & setting fire to your guitar for  a finale  ;D

Well, the final was last night and I didn't win but had a great experience playing live again after 20 years. Great constructive comments from the judges who said I had the best song in the comp but wanted to award the recording studio prize to the act who would most benefit from it and as it was a group of 22 year old lads, fair play.What made my day was that the review in the local rag described me as a Punk Tinged Singer Songwriter  :) Got some youtube snippets that I will post in the next couple of days.

Cheers Pompeyjazz

Aw...had my money on you to win it, John...shame that the judges of "it's all about the song" didn't give first prize to the guy who they said had the best song  :D

All about the Biz I think Paul. Anyway, had a great experience although I was pretty nervous. Comment I had that cracked me up from one of the judges was 'you should consider allowing a younger contemporary artist to record your songs they are so good" Ha ha ha ha  :)

Ageism...bah!

If you can't do it, then neither can Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, Cher, etc, etc. I think, if yours was the best song, then it should have won. I'm glad you had a good experience, anyway. I'll have to manage to see the videos, once they're posted.

We know the truth! You'll show them. Main thing was to enjoy it I guess. Where are you playing next?  ;)
