Absolutely brilliant. It sounds as if the piece were written for the classical guitar. Masterfully played, haunting and brings back a llot of memories ! Nick Young (John in The Tomorrow People).
Stunning and haunting at the same time, would not see out of place in a contempoary spaghetti western. This is what happens when you give a well loved piece of music to an accomplished and talented musician, and let him interprit it his way. Well smegging done there Steve.
This is absolutely brilliant! The best theme tune ever performed fantastically. I didn't think it would work without any synth but I was wrong. I can't stop listening to this! I also liked the version you did with Nicholas Young.
Hello Nick:). Just wanted to say I also have fond memories of the original show. I wish it would come back, with modern budgets and effects it could be brilliant. This version of the theme is just terrific.
Outstanding. Love it when people do a good theme cover and augment it with a real feeling for the original like this. One doesn't have to be slavish but you've gotta 'get' the thing that made it so good in the first place. Like here. This 70s child approves the groove.
Thank you 70s child! This tune freaked me out when I was a child, 40 years later I find myself covering it. I've had the great pleasure of doing a cover of it with Nick Young who played John in the original series, if you're curious you'll find it on my channel, and Nick's. luv from London
Six-String Steve Yes, I saw that vid, I thought that was excellent of him. Seems like a good-humoured fellow. There was this quite unsettling thing about 70s tv themes - Sapphire and Steel, Tales of the Unexpected, Armchair Thriller, Callan - even Picture Box was slightly odd. A good place to go for this kind of music is Jonny Trunk's OST Show on Resonance FM (in London) 4.30pm on Saturdays. He features retro soundtrack music basically and often features British tv/sci-fi/horror library and soundtrack of the 60s/70s period.
Absolutely, the 70s was full of disturbing stuff - all the ones you mentioned (TOTU was/is amazing) also Lizzy Dripping I have a vague memory of - a girl who befriended a witch. I was too young to see many episodes of it, but the memory lingers. Armchair thriller was really freaky, the Hammer House of Horror series also. Sapphire and Steel was strange but enchanting. They don't make 'em like that anymore! :(
hi steve ,great work ! , i don t remember this peace , but i recall our elder daughter was scared of the music / video for bohemian raphsody , when she was a young girl !
Thanks for enjoying John :) yes it's perhaps the most disturbing tune I know. You'll find Nick Young's own arrangement of the tune somewhere on my channel.
This is not true. The Tomorrow People theme was Dudley Simpson. Dr Who theme was by Ron Grainer. BBC musician Delia Derbyshire arranged and recorded Dr Who but had no part in Tomorrow People, which was ITV/Thames Television.

Endorsement indeed!

Many thanks Sir Jaunty! apologies for ultra-late response, just saw your comment. Best wishes always - Steve

Remember really liking this tune when was a kid. Feel so old now
That is one of the best things I have ever seen on TH-cam.
+cyber utopia Wow! I mean . . Wow!! Thank you!!!

The music soothed me again and made me drowsy. I even yawned. Thank you. So beautiful. :)
That is as haunting and beautiful as the original if not better ! Absolutely stunning.Well done.
This physically soothed me and me and cast another sleepy spell on me. I loved it. Thank you. :)
You've done a lot with this, and added more dimensions to it; made it all moody; and sweet and sour and more tangy--like a tango! ♫ ♫ ♪
This version made me feel peaceful and sleepy. :)
You hit it right on! Bizarre, dreamy theme….. but I still love it!! ^_^
***** Thank you for appreciating! Always loved this disturbing tune, it was a joy to make it work for solo guitar. Luv from London - Steve
The best guitar performance on here! =D Love the tune and you've done an amazing job of it, well done sir!
This made me drowsy again and made my eyes close gently. It made me feel peaceful like it did before. The music is beautiful. Nice. Thank you. :)

Wonderful!!! :)
Should. Be. Used. On a remake 😊
Both this and the dr who theme were composed by delia Derbyshire.
This is not true. The Tomorrow People theme was Dudley Simpson. Dr Who theme was by Ron Grainer.
BBC musician Delia Derbyshire arranged and recorded Dr Who but had no part in Tomorrow People, which was ITV/Thames Television.
Nice.... I wish I was "muso enough" to copy what you're doing.
Spooked me too. Still does a bit Dudley Simpson was great. Nice rendition.
Thank you! I think he wrote the Dr Who theme too, makes sense. He also did incidental music for Steptoe and Son!
Dudley did some of the incidental music throughout most of the 70's but never wrote or had anything to do with the theme to Doctor Who.
Hold a barre minor chord and dabbing your middle finger, as simple as that!
wow wow wow😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'd. Love. To. Know. What. The cast. Think of this😊
