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

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

Ken from over on the Cool lab sent me over the music with a backing vocal Bright Green Eyes to have a crack at .......well here it is....Thanks Ken

She was six feet one and beautiful with her Jimmy Choo heels

Just me and my acoustic.
I've just learned how to record both at the same time.
I didn't know this song the day before this recording.
It was done in one take, with dodgy guitar playing, wrong lyrics and sore throat :)
My recent fascination / obsession with the Devoto-era Buzzcocks is over. Here's an early Magazine song.
Was going to be done unplugged style - the guitar parts were originally guide parts to be replaced with acoustic parts. I got to like them…

I’ve come this way like those before me
And those yet still to come
It fills me with a sense of wonder
To watch the rising sun
how many times
how many souls
Have acted out these scenes
It fills me with…
Two Peas in a Pod, Kindred Spirits you know the feeling about spending time with someone whose heart beats well with yours.

Comments on oldrottenhead's stuff
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
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
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
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
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.
