We've Got It Covered #26

I must apologise for the lateness of my posts in the couple of days, it's been a busy old week and the Tea Party on Thursday night disrupted my normal schedule some what. Boy was it worth it though, if you haven't been to the Hidden Lane Cafe before I'd urge you to make the effort to hunt it down. You have no idea how nice it was to have the smell of freshly baked cakes wafting around a venue as opposed to the normal smelly BO and farts. It went so well that we plan to do another one in the new year, provided that Kirsty who owns the place, lets us back. I think we were all pretty well behaved, apart from Boab who knocked a shed load of pretty cup cakes over.

Anyway, enough of what I've been up to this week on with this weeks cover version, which comes from former De Rosa frontman, Martin John Henry. I am pretty sure that I have bored you before with how sad I was to see his old band call it a day, on the plus side though Martin has been busy working away on his debut album, which is due out some time next year. If the demos that he's been posting up are anything to go by then we should be in for a treat.
Until then you can wet your appetite with this cover of Tom Waits 'Rain Dogs'.

We've Got It Covered #9


In case it escaped your attention we're having another wee shindig next Saturday at the the 13th Note. We have Little Yellow Ukuleles, Randolph's Leap and this band we're only afraid of NYC. I'm just a tad excited, you should be too. Anyway, in anticipation of next weeks gig boys from NYC have decided to share a wee cover version with us all. Initially I had asked them to send me over a copy of their cover of Daniel Johnston's 'True Love Will Find You In The End', they did, but they also sent me this version of Tom Waits 'Fannin Street'. I'll admit that I have never heard the original (yes I know shame on me, etc), I will make sure I do hunt it out though as this version gives me goose-pimples.
