[kevinrrrrrrrrrr]

excellent, very good cover of a great song

[caprichosa4]

You have such a beautiful voice. I love your version of this song!

[MatDurrance]

@caprichosa4 Hey thanks for your kind kind words...My voice has never been described as beautiful before ;) Thanks again!

[caprichosa4]

@MatDurrance where are you from?

[MatDurrance]

@caprichosa4 Hey. I'm from London. Home of the brash, outrageous and free...

[brh31]

whoever or wherever you are - love it. I always dig you up when I'm trying to learn a WP song with my chubby fingers. Awesome

[MatDurrance]

Thanks brh31...Good luck with the song...Watch the B minors...

[Watts660]

This is probably my favourite track by the Wedding Present, I prefer their version, but this is a really good cover, well done mate.

[MatDurrance]

Cheers mate.

[hodgetiger]

is it just me or do you look like Handy Andy from Changing Rooms ?!

[MatDurrance]

Handy Andy? Handy Andy? He looks more like Harry Enfields Loadsa Money...I was thinking more George Clooney...

[Browny180]

Just discovered you mate.

I have seen the Weddoes many a time, and met Gedge a few, Signing copies of Mini at Hebden Bridge Trades club, and before the Great British Music Weekend at Wembley Arena.

I must say what you are doing is awesome!

Prob my fav track!.

[MatDurrance]

Hey, thanks mate. Yes, Gedge is one of the more approachable and accessable mega-stars...Cheers for your kind words!

[v1m]

First Weddoes I ever heard, on an Athens radio station no less. Bravo for another brilliant cover.

[MatDurrance]

Hey Cheers v1m! Whay Athens? Are you from Greece?

[v1m]

No, Mat, just where I happened to be teaching then. In that pre-mp3 era, WP were fairly unknown in the US and it was my luck Athens radio had such good taste. :-)

[jefftube99]

Excellent version of a classic song. Thanks for posting. Look forward to any other Weddoes covers you might do - Cattle and Cane, Heather, Dalliance, Box Elder (well that's Sebadoh via the Weddoes, but what a great song), or indeed anything... cheers

[MatDurrance]

Thanks jefftube99. You will find more on my channel. By the way, wasn't Box Elder a Pavement cover?

[jefftube99]

Ooops, course it was, slip of the keyboard. Just about my favourite Pavement song in fact.
