Nothing Good – Blair Dunlop Cover
Jamie Cullum put out a challenge a couple of years ago to learn and record a new song in one take to camera in an hour. I always thought it would be interesting to have a go so sat down and learnt one of the fantastic songs on Blair Dunlop’s Notes From An Island album. Learnt and tabbed in about half an hour, picked the best of about 25 takes, couple of overdubs and 6 hours later this was the result. A long way off the challenge but a lot of fun!

One World – John Martyn Cover
‘One World’ never seemed more appropriate as a message than for the middle of 2020. Started digging into the original meaning of the lyrics and it seems much more about John Martyn’s protest about his place in the music industry, and how it treated his friends such as Nick Drake, but like all great songs it works on so many levels.
