I'm not just another covers artist. I'm based near Reading UK and play at local folk clubs and open mics delivering passionate and memorable interpretations of pop, rock and folk songs. I brings a mix of familiar and more obscure cuts to the stage, but all of them are equally captivating.

Rain - Martin Stephenson - Cover - Live at Peppard Unplugged 12-10-2024

Rain is from Martin Stephenson and the Daintees debut album 'Boat To Bolivia' and is also on their compilation 'There comes a Time' which is on Spotify. I saw them live many times growing up in the Newcastle and have been playing this song for a very long time. You'd think I should know all the lyrics by now, #playinglive!
Wayfaring Stranger (arr Isaac Guillory) - Live at Peppard Unplugged 12-10-2024
มุมมอง 1812 หลายเดือนก่อน
Isaac Guillory changed my life. When I was learning guitar in the early 1990s I was luckily enough to see him live many times. He introduced me to a lot of songs I'd never heard of and his arrangements were phenomenal. I tried to learn some of his songs as best I could, my versions are very basic in comparison. This was all before the internet and on at least one occasion I helped him pack up a...

Tainted Love was originally performed by Gloria Jones but was then made famous during my youth by Soft Cell. This is my chilled back acoustic arrangement of this classic pop song.
One Of These Days by FFH (Acoustic Cover)

This is a song of faith. The lyric paints a picture of what life might be like beyond death. I was privileged to be able to sing this song at the funeral of my dear friend Richard Hanson, who died from leukaemia in Aug 2014 at age 46. I had wanted to record this for Richard and his family prior to his death but it came sooner than we'd all hoped. I've recorded it now for his family and anyone e...

Land Of Confusion - Genesis (Acoustic Cover)
มุมมอง 7K10 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my acoustic arrangement of this Genesis track. I'd never considered learning this song until I heard a acoustic version of this by Jar Of Clay but it's quickly become one of my favourites. I had a few autofocus issues with my camera but recorded the audio on my ancient Tascam 788 though this is a vast improvement on my previous efforts.

For Mark, my husband, on Valentine's day. You are what life's about.
epico cover, me acuerdo cuando descubri a los stray cats y todo el tiempo escuchaba esta cancion y la de rock this town 👏
@@owenhernandez8384 thank you. I saw them live in 1989. Translation: epic cover, I remember when I first discovered the stray cats and all the time I was listening to this song and Rock This Town
This is really serene and touching version. Very well performed. Nice job!
Another one of my favourite songs from "my youth"! Wonderful interpretation with a unique spin! If only I could play and sing like this!
Wow! Simply amazing... I always like an Acoustic version and different take on songs that I love. Great playing and fabulous vocals!
Fantastic ... I'm having sooo much challenge with picking the strings - this is helping . Bravo!
.... very nice job!
How does this not have more likes? Beautiful!
thanks for your kind comments. Lack of likes probably due to lack of views though.
1.25x for original song speed
a cover of this song among my favorites. Thank you for that
Brilliant, I tried learning this song in the original key, however, typical of Phil Collins and Genesis, they recorded it in D flat or some guitar unfriendly key, I have tried to transpose it to suit my voice, because I can't sing as high as PC, I will try your transcription, Cheers
Thanks for the comment. I know how you feel as I have to transpose nearly everything. Thank God for capos
That was really good, thanks for posting. I will have to dust off my own guitar and get back into making some music. Cheers.
Nice job. Great song, and great delivery.
Really nice - one of this things makes you want to stop giving rats ass about many pity things in our life and just sit and play guitar ... and also get back to learning. Cheers
Good on ya man God bless!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this song
No problem. Take care :)
great :-)
It´s a good cover .
That little hammer-on you do in the first and third chorus after "Too many men..." is so satisfying to listen to.
K10theraptor Thanks. Sometimes it's the little detail in songs that satisfies. This is one song I found recently that does it for me: th-cam.com/video/909js4N1afk/w-d-xo.html
Nice version of this great song. Thank u! Get more!!!
Amazing! Man you're really great!
Claudio Requejo Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment.
Nice cover!
Pat Pik Thanks for the positive feedback
pięknie!
Well done! I was just looking for the Nik version and I listened to your version out of curiosity. Really great. Cheers!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. It's always pleasing to get positive feedback.
really nice!
Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment
sounds great!
Thanks for your taking the time to listen.
good cover :)
Thanks so much.
Nice cover, tidy performance and good clear guitar sound, well done !!!
Awesome
Great cover.
Gareth, I think the guy's mind has "sailed away" who said your rendition is horrible. When I first heard the original song I was blown away by the Struts singer and 99.9% of the world's singers couldn't touch his range. And it was a fresh departure from Mike's normal style. It's almost like somebody trying to cover a Freddy Mercury song. Just unfair to compare. Keep it up my friend, I wish I could sing as well as you and maybe that's why Mike let's others sing his songs because he can't sing like most of us. PS. It still amazes me when I tell people in the US about Oldfield (guitar playing) all they seem to remember is the Exorcist song and have no clue about Man In The Rain or Moonlight Shadow.
Thanks for your support and the others who've commented. I'm a huge Freddie/Queen fan too. I'll see if I can come up with an interesting arrangement of one of their songs
That was a great effort...really enjoyed it............ thanks....
...horrible completely...
Horrible? Really? I know there's room for improvement on the vocal but what exactly did you expect from a live cover? I'm open to constructive criticism.
Julius your criticism is unfair this is a great cover ,if you can do better feel free to post your version.
Gareth Forster forget julius , that was a great cover of this song, guitar sounds sweet perfect timing and your vocals are clear and melodic, i play music myself and i love mike oldfields new album and to me that was 10/10.
Aw, terrific stuff mate.
Love this track when I first heard it, great cover,well done Regards Mick
