Songs for the Bank Holiday Weekend!

I think we need some cover versions so here are some that I really like. I have included Inglorious as I saw them do this song live and it was phenomenal, they were supporting the Winery Dogs (another superb band) and it was just a great night, 2 excellent bands and it has to be said that Nathan Hughes, Inglorious singer, has an amazing voice and range and is an excellent frontman.

Here they are covering Toto's "Girl Goodbye"

I saw Paul Freeman supporting Chris Cornell on his acoustic tour a few years ago and this song was highlight of the night:

I should probably state that Chris Cornell was the highlight because he was incredible AND this song by Paul Freeman has stayed with me over the years.

I was a big fan of the Almighty, back in the day, saw them a few times including watching them blow the Ramones off the stage in London, a truly fearsome live band. Ricky Warwick is now the frontman of the Black Star Riders, formerly Thin Lizzy and this is him covering the great SLF track, "Alternative Ulster"
