Daily Post Feature

Things seem to be picking up, the ball appears to have started to roll.

I woke up yesterday morning to an email from a Journalist who asked me if I wanted to do an interview for a feature on me in the Daily Post, I was thinking tiny footnote, a small mention in a much bigger article maybe, I never thought I’d wake up today to see this! Absolutely buzzing :)

Clare Maguire Cover

Well well!

Look who’s posting on his own website for the first time in about a bloomin year! Hope you’re all still out there!

About 3 months ago I got played a song by a new and very awesome artist called Clare Maguire, and I was absolutely blown away, this girl has all the makings of a pop-artists; great voice, great looks, great charisma, – and of course, the song, titled “Ain’t Nobody”.

Now, I have a habit of doing covers, but I really couldn’t do it justice as I strummed away to myself, so after leaving it a little while, I’m at my girlfriends house getting ready to go out, and I think it was Zane Lowe who played it on the Radio… twice.

Steph and I were just as dumbstruck as Zane and I’m sure thousands of other listeners were, this version was laid back, slow, low, bassy and so completely unique it was almost a different song – this was my kind of material for a cover, and so in tribute to two great acts – I picked up the acoustic and started playing.

A month or two later (and a couple of live tests of my cover), I have decided to record it, and to my suprise, it is now an official video response to Clare Maguire’s origional on YouTube!

To say I am honoured is a massive understatement, amazing, confused, perplexed, all understatements, all I do know is, that someone out there must like it.

So, I thank Clare Maguire and/or those in close contact with her who deemed my cover good enough to add as a video response, and I ask you all to go and have a listen, share over facebook and twitter if you can, spread the word!

Thanks, and take care :)
