In the Can


I've been chronicled. It was all very painless, I can assure you. Let me explain - over the last couple of years filmmaker Steve Oliver has been chronicling local musicians for an online series of short films he puts up on Youtube under the banner The Random Sessions. Shot in one of Nottingham's finest watering holes the format couldn't be simpler: three tunes (two originals and a cover), a couple of beers and a bit of inter-song chit chat and, hey, before you know it, Episode 89 was in the can. A big thank you to Steve - it was great fun to do.

  1. What can I say - A fine episode to add to the series. Something really surreal about hearing someone you feel as if you know well from their blog speak for the first time but now makes sense. And of course, Camberwick Green, a special place in the heart for many 50-somethings. Well done.

  2. Bravo John. Two great originals and a brilliant arrangement of Help. A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend quarter of an hour.

  3. How lovely! Just as Alyson says it feels a little surreal to see and hear you on the screen rather than just to read your words - but you come across just the same and it's very nice to 'meet' you in an extra dimension. Only one more to go now!

    Lovely performances too and 'The Sun Always Shines On Camberwick Green' is great, and puts me in mind of Robyn Hitchcock, which I hope you'll take as the compliment it's meant to be.

    1. I'm genuinely touched by your kind words - thank you. And I'll take Hitchcockian references all day long!
