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…
it was my intention to use alonetone just for my solo endeavours but i couldn't resist introducing you to jemima's kite

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
recorded on this day one year ago in geirs hut in porsgrunn norway.

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

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

This started off as the first unplugged recording I ever made.
Bruce (Blooby)kindly added some drums and pipes to it....
Then Oldrottenhead sang a lyric over it a bit later...
The way this evolved amazed be. Never thought it would…
i forgot about this song and that it was remembrance day today, 55 minutes till 11am tho.so i can still observe the monment.
trust me to post a song today about bodily functions over at sc.
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…
jings crivvens and help ma boab that is awesome shades of olias of sunhollow meets syd barrett but still totally original.

Reg had a bit of tiff with the Mrs so he stormed down the cellar to release his anguish with Elvis and turned it into this little beauty .....now he feels a lot better and is making Mrs Reg a nice cup of tea to say sorry....because lets face it…
I'm a long-time fan of Imogen Heap. I particularly love the way she layers her vocals- harmonies and interlocking bits. I love trying to do the same in my music, but she owns it.
Anyway, I've been wanting to cover her for a while now but have…
I'm really thinking of renaming the upcoming "Burning Wood... The Bonfire Sessions" album "Stealing Genius." I write something simple, put down some picking at the beginning, some acoustic guitar and some vocals, and send it off to people with…
About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....

i must say what a fantastic mix sandy i absolutely love it.
i have had the privelege of hearing this from the outset, about 2 or 3 weeks ago sandy sent me his (in my eyes completed) version and i added my bits, then passed the baton onto dave to add his bits, so i have heard three earlier versions, then my inner puppy was dying to hear the finished piece and had to contain myself for two weeks.
wow! it was well worth the wait and the vocal rythms are the icing on the cake.
oh some of you may recognise mrs orh's laugh as she appears on quite a few of my songs(thanks for leaving it in) she was in the next room and her timing unplanned but perfect imho.
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.
