Stay With Me Acoustic - Martin John Burton #originalsong #acoustic
zhlédnutí 52Před měsícem
Here's the first in a series of "Unplugged" Acoustic only songs. An original song written back in the late 1970's, recorded and released in the mid 1980's as a single by The Gents and played a few times on BBC Radio 1. This is pretty much how it sounded the first time anyone (other than me) heard it.

My live performance of a song I wrote for my band The Gents back in the 80's. We recorded a demo version at Abbey Road Studios and were subsequently offered a deal. Unfortunately the manager had "delusions of grandeur" and turned it down! (without discussing it with the band) - Tosser!!!!

    Martin I absolutely love this and by the sounds of it you make your own backing tracks don't use pre-recorded backing tracks. Has my very good friend Eddie Wheeler from 60s group Vanity Fare does solo gigs just like you he makes all his own backing tracks never use his pre-recorded wants it to be all him he is a fabulous guitarist who is just brilliant. Hopefully see you at a gig do you play any gigs in London ect. Eddie has played gigs in Tooting Kensal Rise Borehamwood Watford Streatham Coulsdon South Tenterton They are just some of the areas that my friend Eddie is played in. X

    Absolutely fantastic , this was mine and my first girlfriends song and it means has much to me today has it did 40 year's ago , it brings a joyful tear to my eyes and instantly takes me back to the best time of my life , me and her did the whole mod revival scene , Parker, Vespa ect and the Gent's were a massive part of that , Martin and the Lads had a great talent that sadly not enough people got to enjoy , lyrics and melodies song after song after song and were as good if not better than many of the bands that are now household names from that generation . The years have flown by all too fast but great band's are like great memories , PRICELESS

      Hi Sips. The guitar I used on "Broken Hearted" was my Epiphone Uptown Kat. Beautiful guitar in metallic red. Great to play too as it was very light compared to some. I sold it on a few months later as it wasn't getting as much use as it deserved 😎
