it finally happened the guys from jemima's kite got together for a gig in otley yorkshire, with geir and osckilo joining in the festivities.
this was a wee practice before the event, with me on vocals and greeny on guitar and backing vox live…

And of course this version :-)
I don't think I've listened to this one this close before - or mebbe I've better headphones on, I dunno - it's fab, worth two faves.
WOW!!
This must've been for the Beatlesfest over at Songcrafters? How did I miss it???!
I nearly skipped this one in a mood of "oh this old chestnut..." (I do love the original, but you kind of dread a cover of it).
But I reasoned, "you never know with orh..."
So I thought I'd listen to the first "I read the news today" and then decide...
FLIP!! lol

Ya know, online collaborating is the greatest thing going since the trans-Atlantic cable.
The next best thing at least to actually being there.
ORH on the lead vocal and synth strings. Hoop on electric guitars, bass, robo drums, backing…
Woo... it looks like I've missed loads of classics of yours Jim...
It also looks like I need a "Aww F*** it... just Fave em all" button, you're wearing me out having to keep moving me mouse around lol
got a new ukelele still trying to tame it.
recorded 3 tracks of uke and one of vox on micro br using onboard mic, still trying to tame the onboard mic.

sort of alice in wonderland or maybe you might read something else from it. that's up to you.
They've switched off all the lights
they're out to lunch
they've all gone to the party
they're having tea and scones
the hatter calls for silence…
Missed this one. Tis mighty fine, mighty fine.
Paints big pictures. My only complaint is that it went away too abruptly for my liking - that 4 minutes went by very quickly

recorded live in the living room on the ukelele.
an anti war song and tribute to the lost.
two minutes silence
that's all they get
a paragraph
in the daily rag
their lives before them
their every dream
all wiped out

and so the journey begins, track 1, coffee in hand ready to listen to the whole album. love this like the rolling stones bumped into pere ubu in yer kitchen. braw.
A very Merry Christmas to you all ....Thanks for listening...i got me a cry baby she's still not tamed but a lot of fun so i had too try her out and this is the outcome.. hope you enjoy!!
This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
awesome, the bass was stand out for me and then that fabulous chorus hits it for a six, ferking awesome, read the lyrics a hunner times and am nun the wizer. braw tell yer maw.
I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it.

Yah buggers!! (Quietly takes a sheet of paper out of the pile of "possible covers to attempt") Brilliant, guys. Mighty fine version
Gorgeous :)
in your own words....brilliant. fmgwabp to the nth degree
Very nice cover. Probably the best I ever heard like this!
Diggin' your vocal performance on this man. Classy tune.
a beautiful song Jim has that feeling of wonder going on...excellent
Yep, good to see this one on here. Fine, fine song.
I love this still.
I thought I'd pressed send on this one!! It was along the lines of "yes, like this version, nice job" :-)
And of course this version :-) I don't think I've listened to this one this close before - or mebbe I've better headphones on, I dunno - it's fab, worth two faves.

Ah... I have heard this elsewhere... it doesn't get any worse, though - it fact it gets better - superb job chaps

think this was my ery first uke song andy
Wonderful stuff. The voice and guitars sound like they came into the world together - excellent collaboration

Glad I found the legendary uke tracks :-) Listening to them all now, this one is my favourite so far.
The vocals intrigue me - they remind me a bit of Fish from Marillion.
Thoughtful song, nice work. I'm always a fan of your amazing song writing abilities, and this is no exception.
Nice writing, well sung.
