Last week I was invited by my good friend Ben Jennings (‪@Ramblingrecordings‬) to perform at the Rugby Songwriter's Showcase in St. Andrew’s Church, Rugby, with a group that I have been a part of with some of my closest friends over the past 18 months.

I decided to perform my latest composition and to speak to how I get the inspiration to write and what compositional methods I use. I have recorded the majority of the performances that night so I will slowly get around to editing them and assessing whether any of it is upload worthy!

Before the start of the show (and in-between soundchecks) I took myself off into a corner of the church to record my latest original instrumental, 'Beddgelert'. This song was inspired by my recent trip to Wales in the summer and was composed shortly before my show with ​⁠‪@thebygonesband‬ to fill out the set with original material. I slightly altered the tuning from Jimmy Page's 'Bron-Yr-Aur' and came up with what you hear almost instantaneously.

Sadly, my last childhood dog - Wilf - passed away on the morning of my show with ‪@JoshTurnerGuitar‬ and ‪@allisonyoungmusic‬, so this tune has become a tribute to him. Those of you who know the story of Gelert the faithful hound will understand why I thought it was a fitting name to remember the beautiful soul that was Wilf. I hope that he hears me from wherever he is and knows that I am thinking of him.

Some of my previous recordings of late have featured a heavy amount of de-noising with the use of RX11 and Wave's NS1. Over the past few months I've become so caught up in making things 'perfect' that I lost sight of the fact that the blemishes of background noise and other uncontrollable variables are all part of the charm. To that end, I have made the conscious decision going forward to leave all of the nitty gritty from my live recordings in - I hope you all agree that this is a positive step in keeping this channel as authentic as possible!

My favourite element of this recording is when you can hear the PA pop after one of my friends pulled the guitar cable out mid-soundcheck. Either that or the lovely natural reverb of the church!

Thanks again for watching and to those of you who have helped this channel to grow slowly. I'm starting to find a bit of a rhythm with it all now, so hopefully the next video is just around the corner!
