Absolutely, agreed 100% - excellent Alex - very classy piece of playing and singing and a very nice use of the slide too. :clap:

nikdavies - that's some body of work you're posting Nik. Lovely to hear some jazz stuff up there. I loved 'So The Tide Never Forgets' it really ebbed and flowed (which I guess was the point!)

A wee bit too much reverb on some - but that's just me, I reckon

Just a note to say that to those of you that have entered that although quiet I'm listening to and enjoying your various recordings. To those that haven't entered yet come on in 8-)

I'll be starting to make the Competition guitar in the next few weeks so look out for the build thread.

eleanordillonmusic - welcome to Acoustic Soundboard, and the competition

Great to hear a singer/songwriter entering the comp. I had a listen to your album on SoundCloud - some great, strong songs there (particularly like Untitled No.3)

Best of luck in the competition.

doc: I’m confused. Howevaah! Sex and violins was a touch of elegance!!! Oct 24, 2024 20:25:13 GMT

otis1960: Confused, Doc? Could be a sign of vitamin deficiency - try adding more flute to your diet Oct 24, 2024 21:52:25 GMT

newdave: Fascinating show from BBC Sounds here.... Oct 25, 2024 18:47:13 GMT

leoroberts: Love the new profile pic, doc

newdave: If someone says "bin diversity" do they want more receptacles or an anti woke crusade? Oct 27, 2024 15:07:00 GMT *

otis1960: Or possibly asking in local dialect if someone has attended University? Oct 27, 2024 23:39:55 GMT

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT

otis1960: I thought this wholly in the spirit of 'Trick or Treat', but evidently I was mistaken. It didn't end well. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:57 GMT

scorpiodog: No, newdave. BUt I normally wake up at 5:30 so I listened to the depressing news then. Nov 6, 2024 10:05:04 GMT

newdave: I was disappointed too but I don't think I'll really feel it until next year, when it will suddenly become all too real. Nov 8, 2024 19:52:53 GMT

NikGnashers: Nice covering of snow here today Nov 19, 2024 7:20:54 GMT

newdave: Snowing in North London too. And settling. Temperature is probably too high for it to last though. Nov 19, 2024 7:58:48 GMT

borborygmus: We have snow in Northamptonshire. Road is a little slushy but clear. Nov 19, 2024 9:08:40 GMT
