AMAZING SONGWRITERS

 



I've been watching and listening to the BBC Songwriters Circle concert, in parts, on You Tube over the last few weeks. The concert was recorded in 1999 I think.

It is excellent, showing the songwriting and performing talents of Neil Finn (Crowded House, Split Enz etc), Graham Gouldman (10 CC) and Roddy Frame (Aztec Camera).

The performers talk a little bit about their song (each of them perform several of their own compositions) before doing an acoustic guitar version, sometimes supported by the other two. This is impressive stuff which I'm sure you will enjoy.

I've hooked out three videos showing each performer doing one of their songs.
