Location: The Grand Venue - Clitheroe
The guitar is a powerful yet complex instrument. It has the ability to deeply connect to the listener and create such incredible sounds with the touch of the strings.
Reinterpreting a classic song is also no easy feat. To be able to do this without a vocal lyric takes real skill and the ultimate precision.
Take a song like the 5th July 2011 track ‘Somebody that I used to know’ by Gotye. Despite already being thirteen years old it is unique piece of music. Every element doesn’t draw sounds from the past it is totally original. Yet how would it sound stripped back, given an acoustic makeover. Mike Dawes made this his debut release and it soon became a global hit. Let’s see how he did it in the following music video –
