        Hi All,

        Since posting my 2026 Annual Maiden Gully Car & Bike Club Gig I have received some positive requests re: Purple Rain. So … I have recorded a longer version at home. Sorry, no solo, I’m definitely no Prince!!!

        All the best!

          That was a great cover Garry.

              This is terrific, Garry. Love the harmony vocal choruses. I am always impressed with how comfortable, laid-back and at-ease you are in your performances.

                Hi Garry, I’m afraid I don’t know the song, but your version, including guitar and vocals, sounds wonderful. The recordings of drums, orchestra, etc. fit perfectly and the sound is great.

                  Yea, this one will always get the crowd going. That backing track is so good. Great job Garry.

                  Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

                    I think I mentioned before that I love your song list. Another great selection and nicely performed. Looks like you are ready to book more gigs. Great job.
