annoys my happiness at the best of times but he's done a lovely job of ash's 'shining star' , an already fine song possibly made finer. i'm sure it's downloadable.

I was listening to one of his on my way in to work this morning funnily enough.
I've not really got into the album (only given it a couple of plays mind, it often takes a while for my poor brain to absorb new things) but I love the live orchestral stuff. And his voice is gorgeous.
I'll look out for that marg.

Aye, you're right there, marg. Not a big fan myself but that was a cracker. Think it was a 2FM session. That's where I heard it anyway.
Did you hear him do a duet with Cathy Davey on Freewheel ? Think it might have been on 2FM as well. It was on the Friday before Christmas. Probably a one-off but it was very good indeed.

missed that one i'm afraid. his voice has a lovely tone but he could take it easy on reminding us where he's from. juliet turner used to bring me out in a rash for that very reason. despite her frolicking lyrics and word play i had to give up and make a leap for the dial.
been enjoying duke special's covers more than his own compositions. usually caught en route somewhere. 'and after the break we have duke special doing his version of chaka khan's 'i feel for you''. aye right, says me (i talk to meself a lot) but bloody hell if he didn't come on and do a stomping rendition.

Quality stuff!

never listened to this guy, mainly because there's a guy I know on another forum who never shuts up about the fella. Kinda put me off him before I've even listened. Will deffo give it a shot now, though. You guys are rarely wrong. Except obviously for the James Blunt debacle. Some of you guys are under the false impression that he's actually good
