[curtisrudduck]

What a amazing voice

[fatfrankblack]

oh god I remember this programme. This was brilliant! Thanks so much for uploading!

[marokokisetter]

@fatfrankblack i was only 8. and i lived in SE asia at the time.. what else/who else was on this program? :D

[turtlemama8]

always loved this song and the album it's off of. Sounds even better on that Takamine. Good choice, Roddy!

[rederic2004]

Wonderful. Thanks so much for posting.

[walterross1]

remember watching this programme on bbc when i came back from the pub years back and love it and now ive found it here cheers guys

[Simulationofvirtue]

Great track - superb guitarist.

[Twinsfan7777]

WOW, amazing! This is one of my favorite songs, have not heard it for quite some time. The acoustic version is every bit as amazing as the full band version, a testimony to the fact that Roddy Frame is a great song writer. For anyone that does not own "High Land, Hard Rain" you might want to pick up a copy if you like this song. Thanks so much for posting!

[Vaughnrush]

Love this song...got the 'High Land, Hard Rain" release on cassette...wish I could get a digital version on iTunes or something...timeless good sounds, Roddy!

[dinster70]

he's so great, one of my favorite artists ever, should have sold more records, should have gotten much more respect

[Jaspertownsend2010]

can anyone tell me the chords for this song?

[mickkeee]

That's the sign of a great song. A stripped down version of that great single that sounds even better unplugged.

[gazzo45]

Roddy is a talented boy, no question.

[radioelargentino]

Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!

[dommywaddle]

Roddy Frame, brilliant writer and musician and clearly a blindlingly good bloke.

[DaveCrozz]

wot a top song now this is a proper pop song not like the crap you get now

[gooneythegreat2]

awesome 

[TheCrease16]

Aztec Camera was an amazing voice in a new era. The early eighties were a blur. Not overly kind, and not overly wrong yet a true and strong voice for those who had no cause (YET). This song has a place in time for a lot pre-Angsters~ The same crowd who followed AC also grew to find NiRVANa. Pre GRunge. No doubt.

[lazyjacqn]

Hey i was there i was the one shouting about "honey from the bay of plenty". Free ticket, few beers, didn't know how lucky i was. Thanks for posting the vids, bring more if u can. All together now "everywhere you goooo... you always take the weather with yyyoooouuuu...." lol x

[sirtinycreep]

11 years ago? He changed a lot. What's he look like now|?

[nickbaldeagle01]

Bloody hell. I recorded this on VHS donkeys years ago. Poor old Neil was nowhere near as good a guitar player as the other two and sat a couple of songs out. This was the best show of the lot.

[nipperooney]

@nickbaldeagle01 Yes your so right about Neil Finn , i'm not being bitchy but i've always thought Crowded House were overated . Talking about guitar players i'm off to see Squeeze tonight Glen Tilbrooke is something else , with or without a band , his accoustic shows are amazing

[nickbaldeagle01]

@nipperooney I'm fresh from seeing Paul Gilbert in Manchester. It was his birthday too. Awesome guitar player. I've uploaded some videos from the show.

[buduiza]

beautiful! Life is better somehow after this.

[ralphian67]

Roddy sounded great ! .. that was great.

[gordonw01]

Nice version of this...like it just acoustically with harmonies.

Roddy is a ledge !!

[ZiggyMoonDirt]

November 1982? That was when I was born! I'm shamed! Roddy is a total fox, I met him at The Glee Club in Birmingham in 2005 and made a total tongue-tied tit of myself! He's a bit foxy tho had a bit of a thing for him, particularly in the video to Somewhere In My Heart. Mmm!

[Dinner1966]

Fuckin brilliant!

[joelperk]

Aztec Camera made my 80`s

[Spodorama]

@joelperk Oh, definitely! Mine too.

Great clip!

[OrlandoBobster]

Hi Roddy, ...Met you and Campbell after the gig at the Pavillion or Apollo (memory escapes me) around 1984. Great gig. You wore the trademark suede cowboy jacket and as I didn't have anything handy for you to autograph, I had you sign a Scottish pound note from my pocket !

Fanatastc memory, ...and the certainly my inspiration to go on and learn more about music, ..so thank you.

[RubyTwilite]

The hallmark of a real singer; a live performance! Awesome!!!!

[Mercurybeam]

Love love love to you, great songwriter. Thanks for the songs, thanks for the happiness...

[KizzyDog01]

This is awesome!

Roddy Frame 1999 and Aztec Camera 1983 - I love it.

This is an all time great!

[willard39]

I actually like this better than the original...the spanish guitar really comes out....great stuff...thanks

[shelly150675]

Holy crap... 2 of my fave songwriters... ever!

I adore Roddy Frame and Neil Finn, wish I'd been there to see this!

Aztec Camera were SO underrated and were one of my favourite 80's bands. Fantastic song, it stands the test of time well.

[carolinebobol]

Je suis sous le charme.... Mon chanteur favori depuis mon adolescence!!

S'il te plaît viens en France, Roddy!!!!

[gahan101]

ça tournait en france dans les 80's Aztec Camera?

[carolinebobol]

Je ne sais pas, je suis née en 76 et j'ai découvert Aztec Camera à la fin des années 80 vers l'âge de 14 ans (si je me souviens bien) avec le titre "Somewhere in my heart" diffusé sur les ondes la BBC, que mon père écoutait beaucoup à l'époque... Depuis je suis accro, connais tout son répertoire!!!

[imblue090691]

In my opinion one of the greatest songs to come out of the 80's...............

[webstercat1971]

Got the postcard label single. Lovely.

[bettymcsweaty]

Sublime

[35sixer]

Roddy is the best! Great song from a great time in my life.. thanks for the post..

[PeterSpaeter96]

Great! Marvellous!

Simply touching!

Thank you!

[sussed2002]

being a skinny c**t meself this is a joy. roddy is as cool there as he was back in the postcard days...

[aristagirl1]

Roddy Frame and Neil Finn on the same stage, wow - wish I'd been there. And Roddy's so sweet I'd just like to hug him....

[HarryUpHarry]

M why not? I am not so deep and no so low x

[HarryUpHarry]

I want to be too young to remember it too!

[finnboy67]

This man is a guitar god!

[yorkiebar23]

Just love this guy and love this song. Nice one.

[AyeWeCan]

they murder this great song here

[s36mayor]

Am in the audience here - remembered Roddy from Highland Hard Rain. Great gig provided by three great singer songwriters.

[Forestamtul]

My sister like Aztec Camera she has the album on cassette still.

[AyeWeCan]

fab

[iloveroche1]

Roddy Frame is brilliant.

[connors1975]

great version of this tune..top man from EK.

god bless roddy frame

[pjtrenthem]

king of pop

[CCPbass]

Roddy is simply one of the greatest songwriters these isles have ever seen. That fact that is such a great guitarist and has a fantastic voice makes the guy unmissable live.

[Mahavishnu80]

jesus christ roddy looks about 18

[mario5431]

What a great,great song......not bad back up either...:)

[johnnoM12jr]

Fantastic version of a great song. The whole session is just a joy to watch. It was from Jools Holland's bbc show 'Later on in the round' (but I believe was also shown at some point as 'Songwriters circle') which also had neil Finn and Graham Gouldman. The tabs for most of Roddy's stuff can be got at doubleu3 killermontstreet(.)(net If you follow this version the tabs need a little bit tweaked but watching the vid u can make out where.

[cryingonion2]

I can't find that website for Roddy's tabs, can you write it out in full?

thanks

[johnnoM12jr]

can't do it. Youtube stops any1 writing web addresses in the correct format. just type killermontstreet into google and you shld get it.

[cryingonion2]

Oh ok, thanks, I'll give it a go.

[RainbowBrite80]

sERIOUSLY...ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS FROM THE 80'S WITHOUT A DOUBT...IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET THE SHEET MUSIC TO PLAY ON MY GUITAR?

[johnnoM12jr]

see comment

[blumphy]

Genius.

That is all, carry on.

[nasratfatty]

this is great, i saw roddy on saturday supporting edwyn collins, he was amazing at guitar!

[JikJikson]

Thanks , new someone would put this show up eventually x

[petemcnulty]

Abso brill! Love it.., I was in HS when it was new.., still holds up.

[gardabetbet]

still the best!

[kowalski40]

Anche dall'Italia...long live Roddy!

[Oogieluv]

Imagine if those two were to procreate... Talent knows no limits.

[kirkbyla]

imagine if the patent on the guitar was owened

[GWBsux]

I saw Aztec Camera open for Edie Brickell in 1989 or 90 and Roddy Frame was absolutely amazing!! I've always liked Aztec Camera, but seeing Roddy Frame live was incredible! This is great stuff!

[Obeliskeyes]

He's God...in his own way...

[clarence47a]

The man is a genius

[Justwhois]

What are the actual chords to this song?

It looks like he starts in Am?

[stelloyd90]

[Justwhois]

The cords are nowhere to be found on the net!

[stelloyd90]

[stelloyd90]

[andrewbeds]

Great tune

[tshur44]

As good as it gets.

[marokokisetter]

I'd love to see more clips from this show!

was this a series? (Songwriter's Circle?)

[seanymcseany]

Thanks for uploading - This was an outstanding series but my VHS of this show is long since lost. I even wrote to the BBC asking about availability but with no success

[beornborg]

The BBC is like that. I asked for copies of Rock School and a few other shows.

[urmo2urmy]

Fantastic trio of fabulous music. I'd love to have the full gig on cd or dvd. Where can I get it?

[itzoccor]

That's few songs that cheer me up as this one!

[itzoccor]

there are few songs that cheer me up as this one, I meant

[cathrube]

Superb. My friend and I wrote this lament to Roddy during one of our PE lessons at school in 1984

"Roddy, I love your body and your songs are alright too, I like your smile,I like your style, so how about it Roddy"

How could he resist eh???

[Reluctant5]

I wonder if he will ever play 'Too Much Acid'???

[fugue83]

Never heard the acoustic version before - it's FANTASTIC! Thanks for posting!

[markyscooterboy]

faultless real class great memories

[musicalglenn]

[janegirl06]

[phaedra108]

Still Oblivious.....

[dermotoblong]

[lauramac73]

[chrysbiz]

Wow, this is great! I've never seen this before... the acoustic version, I mean. Nice sound. :)

[GAZONO]

we still have it. ~Go on to You Tube NOW !!!! It's there if u look

[philymc]

dO YOU STILL HAVE THE SOMEWHERE IN MY HEART VIDEO IM DESPERATE TO GET HOLD OF IT

[thingsihaveseen2]

I was hoping someone else would have uploaded by now (plus the 1st Neil Finn track which I also don't have), my version jumps which I think is why I didn't reload it. after sinfulish was taken down, I've not done any video to mpeg for a long time but will try and do it soon.

[cryingonion2]

Hi

Where has the "Somewhere In my Heart" video gone?! It was saved to my favourites but has now disappeared. (Apologies if it wasn't you). Please, though, if you have it, could you upload it? Many thanks

[tricia3007]

It is Roddy...

[tricia3007]

You play like Roddy...

Peace

[chrisowen]

Great vid. I remember seeing this on tv years ago. Thanks for uploading.

Chris.

[jhjenn]

The young ones won't know it, but the real onew will LOVE iT!!!

[Bondiaa]

Thank you! from Mallorca.

[poshhammers]

Surely, this kind of thing would make good saturday night tv. Get a bunch of quality musicians together for a bit of a lightweight jamming session, audience participation and all that , its a smash hit!, I'd watch it anyway, better than frickin celebrity shite dancing. you heard it here first!

[1966man]

Too right mate, would make excellent tv!!

[theladyslippers]

thanks! i love this video! do you still have "somewhere in my heart" from this show?

[thingsihaveseen3]

I just can't find the mpeg for that one, but I will redo it and upload within the next week or so

[2perishable]

Things, thanks for the vid...

Roddy, keep screwin around with your PortaStudio until you die. You are a true Rock God.

[MuzzikLvr]

This is fantastic! Three of my favorite artists together. I would love to see the other videos from this event that are marked private..

[girlhacker]

Thank you!!!!!!

[girlhacker]

Thanks for putting this back up! Can you put "Roddy Frame - Bigger Brighter Better (Live on Later)" back up too? That was my absolute favorite. Many thanks!!!!!

[thingsihaveseen3]

Your Wish is my Command, enjoy while you can, next time they might block my IP, then it will be goodbye and not au revoir
