Howdy, I posted a video here a while back and got some great feedback/comments/questions, so here's my new one:

Wow. Just wow. That was terrific! Thanks for posting that. I will go back and re-visit that video many times. I really enjoyed it. The playing was simply amazing and you have a such a terrific voice.

Nice to meet you! :)

thanks hunter, glad you liked it! I was pretty nervous - for some reason live recordings like TV/radio always give me the shakes! I never get nervous at gigs. Odd!

Dude, if you were nervous, I didn't notice it. You look like you're very comfortable performing regardless of the venue. :)

That's fantastic Jon, i just checked out your web-site and some of your other material...really good...how the hell did you sing, play percussion, basslines, melody and tune your guitar all at the same time in the 'Gloria' video :confused: :eek: might just have to treat myself to a copy of 'hypertension' do you ever do any gigs around the east midlands?

Incidentally, hope you don't mind me saying so, but right at the start of the 'High and Dry' video i thought i was seeing a young Eric Clapton, the resemblance is uncanny.

Outstanding Jon, very nice sound - gret guitarwork too - ove the beats on the body. Soulful singing and a great melody, great work!

Ha ha! Smoke and mirrors!!! The tuning thing is great fun, but you have to buy banjo pegs, don't try it with regular guitar pegs, you will dislocate your wrist!

Yes I have a gig in Nottingham March 6th, I think the venue is called the Running Horse.

As for the Clapton lookalike thing, I get that a lot! I prefer when people say Dave Grohl, just cos he's a bit more hip!

Interesting. I thought Dave Grohl rather than Clapton.

Do you tour the U.S.? If you do, are you going to be in Pittsburgh any time?

Not this year I'm afraid. Maybe I will make it to the US in 2009...
