  • He looks like Jack Black

  • Matt Holness must really like British folk. He gets it SO well.

  • is that a martin 000-28 ?

  • Oh man where are the chords/tabs for this song?

  • Having shared many a flagon of mead with Merriman at festivals past, I am familar with his drunken repetoire. It is quite clear to me that he is singing:

    "Stay beside the railway, heaven while we play.

    Days are gone, my dear. They are gone, my dear - but we had a good old day."

    2nd verse substitutes railway for "river now"

    But make of his lyrics what you will, I judge not.

  • im sure one of the lyrics is

    oh we had a good ol' day

  • i love his sense of humour, it's as dry as a badger's arse.

  • this would actually be brilliant if he bothered to write lyrics.

    it's criminal that he's so multitalented

  • wat a legend!

    listen 2 'may you never' by John Martyn, and u can c wher holness has his inspiration lol

  • @Rojoco88

    yeah, kinda reminds me of nick drake and fionn regan as well... brilliant parody

    you can tell how easily one could make up lyrics just from garbling

  • i think this is in open d , working on a cover :D

  • i'd buy a merriman weir album, definitely

  • I'd actually buy a proper version of this song.

  • esinach, I highly appreciate you posting these clips, but my gods man...that exit promo is ridiculously loud.

  • Please remember this is what i can get from this recording, sorry if its not 100%

  • I admire your spirit but there really isn't any lyrics its for comic effect that their inaudible. :)

  • love this song so much hahahaha its so class!!!!

    ooooooooh oooooooooohhhhh oooohh ooohhh LOOVVING YOOOOU

    priceless!!

  • if the second half of the song wasnt comedic this would be a marketable song ( obviously as a part of an album )

  • didnt know he could play guitar, pretty good

  • Someone tab this

  • could someone post the lyrics to this please?

  • :D i would love to see someone try translate this to English xD

  • Fraid it's just drunk mumblin with 'lovin you' inbetween ! lol- great track tho ! Man to man an darkplace are the best ! x

  • His skills are wasted on this comedy tune.

  • just heard John Martyn for the first time so not surprised to see other comments that mention the similarity!

    I'd love to own a complete version of this. Really beautiful melody.

  • his second best character after Garth obviously

  • yeh lol there pritty awesom i wish some1 would tab them n post on ultimate guitar or summut

  • You do know what canned laughter is right?

  • haha depsite being a joke these are actually really good songs

  • I listened to a lot of Nick Drake after watching this. Very beautiful, actually. I wish it was a real track.

  • Rob Beck in 10 years.

  • he is actually fuckin awesome.. yeah very nick drake or john martyn.. he should do a real recording..

  • John Martyn does sing like this on some tracks. But he does enjoy a drink.

  • He is a great guitar player

  • This is like Nick Drake on laughing gas. Cracks me up every time.

  • just work it out you can blatently see the positions from the video

  • does any body know the tab for this at all. thankyou

  • Wait...you want to play this? Haha. That's awesome. Good luck, mate!

  • So funny! This series was so so good! I hope they do and second of Darkplace. That has to be the best comedy ever :-)

  • mathew holness is a genious bloody hilarious darkplace is undoubtly the best programme in creation

  • this man fuckin rocks. bitch killer!!!! hello mummy.

  • yeah cjvos1 is right, its like a parody of John martyn and even though its a piss take it's a great tune!

  • fucking quality songs. i genuinely would buy these songs! pay real money for them!

  • the vocal sounds just like john martyn.

  • it sounds like nick drake..the album pink moon

  • As funny as this is, am I the only one that thinks the music itself is very, very good.

  • no, quite agree. i really was shocked at how very a good folk guitarist he is.

  • thats matt berry, bloody legend, u might also no him as dixon bainbridge in the mighty boosh!

  • That's not Matt Berry, that's Matt Holness. Matt Berry is 'Sanchez' in Man to Man and Darkplace.

  • Garth Marenghi (isn't actually his real name) is a bad ass mudda who don't take no shit. Darkplace hospital rocked testicles aswell.

  • hes lyk da depressing version of jack johnson

  • you're lyk da depressing example of our degenerating culture

  • i lyk totally agree, sporkguy!

  • I agree with you two. This fool is clearly unaware that acoustic artists existed before Jack Johnson.

  • ok peeps no need 2 start 2 gang up on me i lyk jack johnson's songs i was just jkin and im sorry if i offended u in any way ok? jeez!

  • hes got ability in spite of the spoof
