Small Hours - John Martyn Cover - Paradise Beach Palolem Goa 2008

Volker & Lol open the evening with a John Martyn Cover of Small Hours recorded live on Paradise Beach in Palolem Goa. Imagine this..your on vacation for a few Months and arrive in India Goa on a lovely beach but none of the music venues atmosphere appeals to you, your local bar doesnt do live music, then by chance you meet similarly minded musicians and a spark of ideas flows and the Bar Manager buys into the idea of putting on live music. With a small P.A. a few Mics you begin and from that it grows into one of the most popular music venues - thats what happened and those evenings will forever remain in my heart. The ocean was just yards away, a beach fire burned and many many people met and began friendships there.

Aye Iain, your right there and thanks for that. Im Scottish and the two guys playing are Volker from Germany and Lol from England who I met on the Beach and between the 3 of us we started an Open Mic venue with 2 mics, one micstand, one beach umberella pole as a micstand. Tiny P.A. but it got us started and within a few weeks we had packed beach audiances. Check out two other lads that arrived, again one was from Scotland and sang I Dont Wanna Know About Evil. Enjoy.

Looks like a great atmosphere-anyoneplaying in the 'spirit of John' is doing a good job as far as I'm concerned. Some nice guitar going off there.

Can I come too if I bring me echoplex?
