Then buy the single on the 16th December.

His mate Puff Paddy :D

I bet cowell is quaking in his boots at this rival no1 bid

Listen to the song you miserable cunt.

Hopefully the TEF pressure group will spread the word.

That's really pretty good, well worth a listen

Wish Gaz all the best, he's a top bloke,.

Gaz is quality. Will be downloading this.

A top bloke, a quality musician and a fucking brilliant lyricist.

This

Jahmene to win

That's the spirit.

Never heard of him before, but I've just spent the last 10 mins or so listening to some more of his tunes.  This is good.

I like that and the Christmas one, great to see some local musical talent.

Looked him up on iTunes and there's one good stuff on his album.

Thank you TEF

He's bloody great live if you ever get the chance to see him.

If anyone listens to Live From the West End of the M4 Corridor I managed to get a ridiculous heckle onto the recording of one of the tracks.

He's ace.

Absolutely fantastic :nod:

I like it  :D

He supported the Levellers at the O2, Bristol last night and has been invited to join them for the rest of their tour. Next stop, Shepards Bush Empire.

Here's the facebook page, I'm sure he would appreciate a few more likes:

He does spend quite a lot of time gigging in Bristol and even mentions Bristol in some of his songs.

Serious question here.  He seems to be from Swindon originally, but are we sure he's not a Shithead?

That is very good, I do like the west country song too, very good indeed.

He is from Swindon, but lives in Bristol, hence the gigging there.

I came across him via someones Facebook a few months ago, hes great.He looks a bit like a stupid novelty act in that Christmas picture though if i was going by that  i'd probably have steered clear.

He's good.

If you can look beyond the billions of cover bands which seem to plague the town, there are quite a few good local bands and artists knocking around. Charlie Bath and Crash & the coots are worth a listen

He grew up in Stratton.

He also has a few songs about Swindon being home. So I would certainly say it's a no.

When are you next gigging Dave? Enjoyed your shuffle set at the Queens Tap.

Aw, thanks. I don't know, whenever there's an open mic on. The Vic will have one in two weeks I think.

That's rather good, but I can't help but be distracted by the fact that he's pronouncing banality wrong.

1,2,3,4 5....Paolo's working evvvvvvvvvvvery time ;D

He's decent, like the song he should go on xfactor to help him get discovered.

Getting some exposure through the Levellers gigs.

I'll be buying it.

Is there going to be a big promo push once it actually goes on sale?

Well considering he is completely DIY, the promo push will have to come from people like us. The more that pimp it, the better.

Yeah, that's kinda what I meant.

All he needs really is his mate Frank Turner to big him up a little and all the little indie kids will be rushing out to buy it.
