On the flip side of famous bands does anyone love the music of somebody who is a complete unknown? I’ve followed Laura Currie for years on YouTube and she’s got a beautiful voice and she does some fantastic cover versions as well as writing her own songs,she plays all of the instruments on her songs and edits all of her videos and she’s an unknown talent with her version of Lovecats and Love Is A Laserquest being particularly good to my ears,she’s also a member of the UOGB if anyone has heard of them
I will look her up-cheers!

I always wanted to play the guitar because it was so bloody cool but secretly I wanted to play the piano more. Unfortunately my sister must have taken all the musical genes in our family as I have zero ability whereas she can pick up any instrument and play almost by instinct.
I was introduced to the guitar by my parents who paid me to have lessons classically. They weren't really into music but just thought it would be a good outlet. I took to the guitar immediately loving the sound which it creates . Hope you can still learn to play the piano as it's never too late ( within reason like really old age 😉). Sometimes you hear people saying I regret not having done this in my younger years for instance.
I've got Moseley Shoals somewhere on CD (it might even be a cassette!). I wasn't a huge OCS fan, I went for the more leftfield bands in Britpop like Kula Shaker, Gene, Shed 7, Charlatans and Echobelly. The whole Oasis v Blur thing bored me.
But not knocking OCS, they were (are?) good.
Shed 7 are a great band. They are just about to release a new album early next year which I have on pre-order. They are from York and my best mate lives there so have had a few nights out in York and once the lead singer Rick Witter was just in front of me at the bar!!
Here's one of their best.

And they're great live.
Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.
Shelled out twelve quid for The Dead South’s album Good Company only to discover this morning that it’s missing Banjo Oddessy which was one of the the main tracks that I wanted,other versions of the album have it on but it wasn’t included on some due to lyrical content and I chuffing well didn’t check,anyone else been disappointed in a purchase?

That’s lucky for you that you had parents that had the insight to provide lessons despite not being musical themselves.
It would be a waste of time for me. I don’t have the underpinning ability to make a success of it. Gladly that doesn’t stop me enjoying it played by people who certainly have the capability.
What’s your favourite tracks based purely on the guitar in them then?

I liked Greensleeves on the guitar . I learnt the traditional way via sheet music eg crotchets and quavers ( how long you have to play a note). Time consuming but I feel you have a better appreciation of the music as opposed to the TAB method where you just read numbers on the music sheet .
Two fine songs there Les, but neither penned by Shane, so will add a couple myself. Could have picked loads but I will go with 2 of my favourites. The first is just a class song and the second brings back great memories of drunken family gatherings.
