What a pretty song! I'm guessing you are meaning the Clare in Ireland. I actually spend a few years in Clare, Australia. The song works well for there too. I enjoyed this a lot.
This has probably the least effert i've ever put into a song , i was sat at my computer falling asleep , when i had the urge to sing this beautiful George Harrison song , i could'nt be asked to get up and change guitars , so using my PRS Singlecut…
Superb version.
I found the album in my parents' records when I was 14 or 15. This song almost took me down the "Bob Dylan" route, but I managed to avoid it in the end(!) But it's always been one of my favourites.
It's a difficult one to do justice to... but you've managed it apparently effortlessly :)
I had the music for this for about three months , and the lyrics for about a year , one day i just happened to start singing and playing them together and bingo , this is done live
This was a poem written by a guy called Maverick , i altered it to fit a song stucture , it was done live , with my good friends Tina on bass , and AK on second acousic

This is a live cover of a Ralph Mctell song , telling the story of a coach tour to the seaside town Brighton just before World War 1 , thinking the war would be over in weeks
I thought the only Ralph McTell I knew was Streets of London - turns out I know this one too!
Can't remember the original, but this is a fabulous recording.
Based on the pretty screwed up short story by Elizabeth Hand.

This was played on my Yamaha Guitalele, recorded direct into my Boss BR-80. Its like a Uke with 6 strings. I tune it to the equivalent of DADGAD, like a guitar in DADGAD capo'd at the 5th fret. These are wonderful little instruments, and hours…
This is like a mission for the Doom Patrol
I need a robot body for my brain
Miss Callas calls
the dopamine exhanges
the sound of down
And there is danger everywhere
the scissor men are coming
House of icons
Felt like cards

Wellll it's not really a mystery, it's a little Beatles remixing!! I've basically just mashed together Octopus's Garden and All My Lovin'.
Hope you like it!
toooons of fun makin it :)
This is a song I have just recently finished recorded over the summer in my basement using all live recordings of real instruments (intro vocals were recorded literally on a cliffside), and this is the first of more to come. It's a song about…
Impossibly simple tune comprising only two-fingered chords, aka the McCartney challenge. Conceived and recorded in an hour between two grueling sessions of hedge-clipping the massive (16ft tall, 35ft long) privet hedge in my backyard. I think…
Reg will just not listen not only have Chris and Norm told him but Elvis Jim and Louie all had the same advice..Forget her....move on but he is going against all the advice. He just can't get Desirea out of his mind, he loves her. He's trying…
This story is a poem sent to me by Lesley Sawyer from a blog on her MySpace site and I put it to music and am posting it so she can hear it and maybe see if it's alright. We don't know who wrote the poem. If anybody does please tell me. j mt
In 1984 George Sluizer, a Dutch director filmed RED DESERT PENITENTIARY in and around Sweetwater, Texas. This is the theme song of the lead character, Danny McMann. I played that role in the movie and wrote the music to the film.

Where oh where will you go
When the sky comes tumbling down
Do you know what you'll do

Hard to explain this offensive appropriation of a "Jazz" style bass and drum thing and shoving it brutally sideways into some feel-good
guitar and horns and someone forming the shape of a Rabbit out of mashed Potato.
Brand New Day – Tiggy Acworth ( Oct ’09 )
I love your eyes so much, how I long for your loving touch
How I long to embrace you in my arms…
I love your lips so much, oh your kiss is the healing touch

The Hippy Inside – Tiggy Acworth, summer 2008
Intro: G C G C G C G
It’s the hippy inside, the hippy inside, the hippy inside of me,
And everywhere my spirit goes the hippy rides with me…
I don’t care what the people say

I had this mellow tune hanging around when I heard "Love is Life" by The Two Regs and thought I need to catch the other Reg while he's around.
Lucky for me he had the time, the voice, and the melody. We created this lovely tune.
I was electrified…
