  1. Have taken the vocals off our cover of Power of Love and replaced them with lots of guitar and released an instrumental version of the track which is available to stream now. https://music.apple.com/gb/album/power-of-love-feat-liam-kane-instrumental-single/1722136442 https://www.amazon.co.uk/music/player/albums/B0CQN1TK8T
  2. It is another month, which means another release. This time a cover of the song, Run With Us, which was featured in the 80s cartoon, The Raccoons. https://music.amazon.co.uk/albums/B0CP5YM3SS https://music.apple.com/gb/album/run-with-us-feat-kel-brooks-single/1718890773
  3. Our first release of 2024 is a cover of the Kim Wilde track, Kids in America, it can of course be streamed on the digital platform of your choice. https://music.apple.com/gb/album/kids-in-america-feat-kel-brooks-single/1717634668 https://music.amazon.co.uk/albums/B0CNS6ZD9F
  4. I'd love to do Back in Time in my cover band. But unlike Huey I don't think we'd be able to convince the Tower of Power Horns to come along and back the band. So with just one guitar and bass we might struggle to pull it off.
  5. Our latest single is a cover of the Ghost track, Dance Macabre, which as always can be streamed wherever you like to listen to music. https://music.apple.com/gb/album/dance-macabre-feat-kel-brooks-single/1712634816
  6. Moving away from Maggie’s corset, we put another cover out this month, still in the 80s but a track that is slightly better known, and the bassline is more fun to play.
  7. Our second Huey Lewis cover is now available to stream on the digital platform of your choice. It is a slightly more well known track than previous cover, Don't Make Me Do It. Apple - https://music.apple.com/gb/album/power-of-love-feat-kel-brooks-single/1704150486 Amazon - https://music.amazon.co.uk/albums/B0CGJ6ZF96 Tidal - https://tidal.com/browse/album/312601119
  8. The trophy is based on the cover of our first album, Daredevil on the Shore. The artist usually puts the chap from it into our covers in some form or another.
  9. Yeah BA Robertson is credited with writing the song along with Edmonds, I'm assuming Noel would have given a hand with the lyrics as opposed to the music. I haven't seen anywhere who played on the recording, on Robertson's wiki entry it says along with writing it he contributed backing vocals. He also wrote the theme for Swap Shop which was on the b-side of the single, which I quite like, particularly the guitar solo.
  10. For those of you of a certain vintage that grew up in the UK, then you will remember the Saturday morning kids programme, Swap Shop. Some of you might even possibly remember that the three presenters, Noel Edmonds, Keith Chegwin and Maggie Philbin released a single, I Wanna Be A Winner, under the name, Brown Sauce. It was a top 20 hit in the charts. So my band, Vantage Point has released a cover of it, which meant I had a go at playing the bass line that Maggie put down all those years ago. You can remind yourself on Maggie on her Rickenbacker here - While the cover can be heard on the digital platform of your choice.
  11. Is the First Friday of the Month again, so we have put out a new song. Not an original this time as we have covered the Huey Lewis & the News track, Don't Make Me Do It. Apple - https://music.apple.com/gb/album/dont-make-me-do-it-single/1704151472 Amazon - https://music.amazon.co.uk/albums/B0CGJKTVFH Tidal - https://tidal.com/browse/album/312602787
  12. Having a go at track, I Think We're Alone Now, at the Dreadnought in Bathgate, with my covers band, Easily Distracted. We were a last minute replacement for a band that pulled out, and played to practically no-one, well the other band, bar staff, sound guy and a couple of punters were there. But it was still enjoyable to be back on stage as it was my first gig of 2023.
  13. Been in the studio recording some covers, for which here is a video of the drum and bass recording sessions for the Huey Lewis track, Power of Love.
  14. Is the First Friday of the month, so we put out another tune today.
