Join In With This Song and win a private concert


To raise awareness of The Swan Song Project, I'm running a competition: Cover or sing along with Song For A Rainy Day and you could win a private session*.

I'll play a gig just for you (and any friends you want to invite), or if you prefer I'll give you a one-to-one guitar lesson, or we can even just chat if you want.

Musical ability not necessary! You can just sing along to some of the song. Or learn my guitar arrangement, with or without vocals. Or come up with your own version entirely. 

You might be inspired by Jonny Walker's beautiful original:

My friend Jonny Walker (1980-2018) lived for bringing people together, whether he was busking in the streets or live-streaming. It'd be incredibly emotional for the thousands of people who loved him to see you express yourself with his song.

So please: Give it a shot. If you think you're not good enough, you're wrong. Me and Jonny would both happily watch someone scream out of tune, or pound on a broken guitar, if it moved us. 

I have no idea how I'm going to choose a winner. Maybe I'll just pick one at random. So just do it however you want to.

How To Enter

1. Download the lyrics / chords / guitar Tab below (whichever you need).

2. Make a video or audio recording of you singing/playing some or all of Song For A Rainy Day. Don't worry about the quality! Phone is fine. You can do it on your own, or with friends, or play my or Jonny's version in the background.

3. Upload it somewhere (youtube, facebook, insta, soundcloud, etc), with the hashtag #swansongproject. 

4. Fill in the short form at the bottom of this page to enter it into the competition

Download the lyrics / chords / Tab

 

Two transcriptions are available below - A simple lyrics sheet (with chords too, in case you need them). And a complete guitar Tab for my version. You can take them for free, or Pay What You Want.

Anything you pay will go to The Swan Song Project - A unique charity which enables anyone facing end of life to write and record their own original song. It's a brilliant idea, creating a personal memento which will last forever.

ENTRY FORM

*Small print: I'm torn between wondering whether anyone will want to win this prize, and being terrified of what I might've let myself in for! Your time with me will be up to a maximum of two hours, via live stream with video chat, conditional on being able to arrange a time convenient to us both. I'm happy to play music for you, or give you a music lesson, or chat, or a bit of each. If you decide you'd like a private concert, I'll provide a link so you can invite as many people as you like to watch.

SIGN UP AND GET A FREE TRACK RIGHT NOW

You'll also get occasional news on tours and new releases.
