@cowparsleyman  yes, a bloody good read, I highly recommend- she can really write and she’s the perfect age to have all the correct references for my generation.

@MonnoDB Isn't it so sad to see a good old music venue go to the dogs and be converted into flats. It's an only too regular occurrence. We lost four cracking venues in Portsmouth in just over 2 years. All flats now - How fecking sad

@pompeyjazz - A little bit of love - very nice idea, simple and very effective, love the duo vocals, reminded me a little of Elvis Costello @ Live Aid, (the best act of the whole gig, and I'm no hardened Costello fan.)

Wouldn't mind hearing this on an acoustic Gtr.

Hey John,
Bienvenue en France!
When I read that you were moving house...then you popped up in France.....it didn't surprise me!
Hope all is good. Might run into you one day...though we're probably further apart now than we were when you were in Southsea.
Bon courage!
Take it easy.

You can check my stuff out here. Mini-album getting bigger slowly. Free download if you're poorer than me.

An extract from last night's practice. We've now got around 30 minutes worth of live material and working towards 40 minutes for a live set

Always loved that song. One of my faves of yours. Maybe you could get even jazzier with the chords in this version. Power to your arms!

Great story John and super videos.  You are right about doing guitar on your own, it's like your naked (there's a thought I don't want again!).  I think it's a little easier on acoustic than electric but fair play to you.  Good luck!

Here's our latest practice. We're up to 11 songs and will hopefully be gigging soon  :)

Looking forward to it immensely  :)
