heard him play round a camp fire at a bonfire party :) really good he let me have a go on his guitar, I wasnt very good. I heard his new song too!! Really great, didnt know how big he was till now!!
does anyone have the proper tabs for this? i dont mean the ones in standard tuning i mean the one in drop D. everyone seems to play it the easy way. if not ill just have to follow this video the best i can
The man is a genious. I think this was part of a live studio session in Pete Townsend's studio. I watched him and spoke to him at a birthday party a few weeks ago. And a great sense of humor too.
A friend told me if I only buy one album for the next rear to buy Foy Vance's. I did and I owe my mate a night out on my. Fuck it about ten nights out on me. I have not been able to stop listening to it and to every last song. If you stumble across this song. do oyurself a very big favour and buy the album!
musicly its a masterpiece, the lyrics are powerful, and the performance was flawless. An extraordinary song that should get ALOT more recognition from the public.
i've been looking for some more artists who perform this kind of music for ages! i love how much feeling there is in it. then someone suggested this guy to me, and i'm breathless listening to his music.
just saw him play live today, what a musician. he was recording riffs etc and puttin them on a loop, building up the backing track as he was going along and singing over the top. he even sang into the guitar for effects!
I was around for a recording session with Foy in london - played that guitar!!! doesn't sound too great here, but one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever played.
Foy is a proper dude, respect, the man knows his music!
i remeber Foy Vance play the guitar in a pub i worked in in belfast every sunday night back in 2002-2003 (The Northern Whig, Belfast Northern Ireland). there used to be about 15 people max in there...he was brilliant back then and he is super now! So glad i got to see him speak to him and listen to his music while playing in pubs.
this guy is absolutely amazing..he blows me away. i first heard this song n grey's anatomy and i havent gotten enough of it since. plz..listen to my cover, just click on my name.
The clip is on here. You can find it using the search words "foyvance", "gabriel" and "vagabond". It's definitely him and I'm sure of this because when I saw him in concert in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast he told the audience all about it.
Foy also told us he grew up living in America then moved back to Northern Ireland. It explains the American influence in the way he sings. Are you convinced yet or do you need even more proof?
I tried to drive to Newtownabbey once but I got lost. I should have bought the new JonJoe sat nav for NI. Have you heard of it? If not then check out jonjoe(dot)net!!!!!
tabs are at Ultimate Guitar dot net I know this because I tabbed "indiscriminate act of kindness". I love the tunings he uses and the chords with harmonics in. Brilliant.
thank you foy for your folk festival late night beauty. we are all blessed.
