Laurie Van Truck
Добавлен 15 дек 2010
This channel, curated by the mysterious Laurie Van Truck, samples Clive Harvey's work over the years as soloist (mainly featuring ukulele) as well as with his bands such as Roaring Jelly, The Omega 3 and The Back Seat Jivers.
My Little Grass Shack (in Kealakekua, Hawaii)
Along with the ukulele's first wave of popularity spreading from Hawaii in the early 20th century came the style known as ‘hapa haole’ - literally ‘half-white’. It was Hawaiian music with Western (mainly American) influence, or conversely, Western music with Hawaiian influence. This popular example was written in Hawaii in 1933 by Bill Cogswell, Tommy Harrison and Johnny Noble. It’s been in my repertoire for many years and often performed at gigs. This version is a home recording with me on vocals, ukulele and bass.

Oi Lee Rag - uptempo ukulele tune written and played by Clive Harvey
Просмотров 14914 дней назад
OK, a silly pun but it works for me, and it’s my tune, I’m sticking with it, so ‘Oi Lee Rag’ it is. Whether it’s strictly in ragtime genre I’m not sure but who cares? For ukulele buffs, I played it on my favourite uke, an aNueNue (yes, that's spelt right) Lani 1 longneck soprano, standard tuning. It's in Bb with a brief Latin-flavoured excursion into the exotic world of Eb. Don't ask for the ta...

Seasonal singalong by Chris Brockis. I’m on backing vocals with our friend Mick Rogers (Manfred Mann’s Earthband) who also supplies the exquisite guitar playing.

A home recording from a few years ago featuring me on… well, everything. For ukulele buffs, the main instrument I used was an aNueNue Lani 1 longneck soprano. This beautiful old song, also known as “On Moonlight Bay”, was written by Edward Madden & Percy Wenrich over 100 years ago. May it never die.

Fever - hot Peggy Lee cover by Alice Harvey featuring Mick Rogers on guitar

Mick Rogers, of Manfred Mann’s Earthband, is a friend. When he wasn’t touring the world with Manfred, he would often drop in on our recording sessions and generously offer his considerable guitar skills to tracks that took his fancy. This is one of those tracks. CH 2024 Vocal: Alice Harvey Guitar: Mick Rogers Arrangement & production: Clive Harvey Words & music: Cooley / Davenport © Trio Music ...

No Justice - moody jazz ballad, great vocal & tenor sax
Просмотров 1503 месяца назад
I wrote this song in the 90s and performed it with my band Back Seat Jivers. However the song really came to life a few years later when my daughter Alice added it to her repertoire. This recording also features my old friend and bandmate Steve Salfield providing some lovely tenor sax. Just under 3 minutes of beautifully performed, laid-back lounge jazz. If you like this you may also like 'Feve...
Snow On A Beach - lounge jazz ballad written by Clive Harvey

Yes, I know there’s a 2022 Taylor Swift song called ‘Snow On THE Beach’ but my song ‘Snow On A Beach’ was written 20 years earlier when Taylor was a Swiftlet - and it’s very different! This recording is from 2007, my daughter Alice Harvey singing with Eugene Portman on piano. Uploaded at the request of my wife Gill Harvey-Bush who thinks this is one of the best song’s I’ve ever written. I never...
Shadow On The Wall - 3 interpretations of Clive Harvey's song
Просмотров 2144 месяца назад
This country / Cajun-style waltz was first recorded by R. Cajun & The Zydeco Brothers, at the time the UK's No.1 Cajun and zydeco band, on their 1990 album ‘Out Of The Swamp’, lead vocal by Beeds. Fast forward many years and Beeds’ son Lil’Jim, a current star of that scene, starts including it in his own repertoire, in a very different interpretation. Both of those are fine versions but only us...

Login’ it!!
I'm going to assume you mean 'lovin' it' and on that basis I'm going to say - Thanks Jack!
Many thanks Clive. That was delightful, and you have a great singing voice. Kudos to you my friend for getting your gums round all those Hawaiian words. 👍👍👍👌👌👌😁😁😁👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you, very flattering! 🙂
❤ xx another gem .
Thank you 🙂
To all of you who have commented may I apologise for this very late thank you and acknowledgement. I have been remiss 🫢 CH
Ah … very funny!
Oh that's lovely!
Thanks Phil. I'm rather fond of it myself!
Another winner!
Thanks again Phil. Give my love to Belper ;-)
@HarveyClive Will do!
At the risk of becoming a pain in the arse, Phil, may I recommend also ‘On Moonlight Bay’ which I imagine is a song right in your ballpark. Your comments are much appreciated.
Great stuff Clive!
Thanks Phil. I’d also value your opinion on ‘Hot Ukulele’ if you’d have a listen sometime 😊
@@clivemharvey Will do!
Brilliant playing Clive!!
Thanks Steve. You should hear me on the Sumatran flutterhorn.
Brilliant. You're amazing 😊
Thank you! 😊
Jaunty little number Clive. Nice. 😊
Thanks Maz.
Love it!
Thanks Margaret.
Absolutely delightful Clive. A real happy, toe tapping tune. Thanks mate, and I wish you and your loved ones an absolutely fantastic new year. 🍀🍀🍀🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍👌👌👌😁😁😁👏👏👏👏
Thanks Andy :-)
Happy New Year Clive. Looking forward to more musical treats. Thank you for the music. x
Thanks Lesley, glad you're enjoying my videos.
Proof that wherever we go your uke comes too! Went to New Zealand with one and came back with two! 😅
And your point is...?
Great tune. Great pictures. Great talent.
Thank you! I admire your good taste ;-)
Love it. Are we learning this tomorrow?????
Umm... no but watch this space, as they say. Video tutorial(s) coming soon!
Nice, jolly, chirpy, toe tapping, optimistic are words that come to mind. Good one Clive.
Thanks Steve. You could almost be describing me ;-)
I love that tune Clive. Such a lively and happy one. I like that you take your uke wherever you go. I bet people can't help but smile when you pull it out (your uke I mean 😅😅). Thanks to you and all the fine people who help bring us these great videos and your wonderful music. May you all have an incredible new year and achieve all your hopes and dreams. 🍀🍀🍀🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍👌👌👌😁😁😁
Thanks Andy, much appreciated. More to come!
Coolio. Can't wait.
Love the pics. A great tune Clive 👍👍👍 Jamie
Thanks Jamie. Unfortunately I didn't write this one. Glad to be part of it though.
Fabulous 👌 xx
Thank you!
FANTASTIC guys, and I totally concur with your sentiment. We should all support our precious, hard working British farmers and their families. 👍👍👍👌👌👌😁😁😁👏👏👏🏴🏴🏴
Hi Andy, thanks for your kind words but wouldn't they be more appropriate under "Police Nabbed Your Dad"?
Sorry. I meant to put it there. That's what happens when you try to do stuff like that sans spectacles.
OK it's fun.....think I'll do one now about asset rich farmers who think they are entitled not to pay their fair share of inheritance tax, indeed not even pay half as much as the rest of us.
What a voice 👌👌👌
Yes indeed. Thanks for commenting, Jamie. There'll be more from Alice in the New Year.
Well done you two!! 😂
Thanks Sophie
Very silly again Laurie. Trouble is I can’t get it out of my head! Police Nabbed Your Dad to both of you.
Life married to a songwriter and musician...When you take a break from willow weaving and come in from the workshop (hence the fleece and scarf) to have a cup of coffee and your husband, Clive, leaps up and says 'I've just had an idea'...and comes back with ukulele in hand. Uh oh!! The pasta jar is brought out of retirement and literally 20m mins later this was the result! 😂(The pasta jar last made it's appearance in Mele Kalikimaka 5 years ago - go find the video!)
That’s so funny! Great performance! 😂
Thanks Ellen. We're getting counselling...
Brilliant! Well done. Loved that. ♥😆
Thanks Ed
Love it! Feliz navidad Clive et al .
Support our farmers x
Thanks Lesley, you too. CH
I don’t often laugh out loud over RUclips videos but penguins at Leighton Buzzard did it. You are a very silly boy Mr C.M. Harvey
Hilarious, full of the warmth of human kindness but with more than a hint of reality. It reminds me of a holiday flat Sheila and I had in Capistrano
This was lovely! Definitely made me think of Roaring Jelly too. ❤
Beautiful and funny
Thank you, you display great taste! 😜
Typical of your sense of humour! 😁Lulling the listener into a false sense of security...then wallop WHAT?? Did I hear that correctly??!! You've not lost the magic that made Roaring Jelly so popular. 🤩
Roaring who? 😜
Oh I love this song, and your voice is so sweet, oh sweet memories, bringing tears to my eyes.
Awww!
Aw, love it. Reminds me of Roaring Jelly songs. Happy memories. Thanks Clive. More power to your elbow. x
Yep, still a bit mad. Thanks Lesley.
Ah …. Lovely!
Thanks Margaret.
9.55pm Wow! Terrific!
Thanks Keith. You are a man of taste! Please subscribe!
Great song, great vocals and guitar. Nice recording too!
Thanks Steve, always a man of taste!
Xmas has come early. Thanks guys. Have a good one yourselves ❤
Thanks Lesley, you too!
Boom, oo, yattatata
Beautiful song beautifully performed xx
Thanks Caz
❤love it. Thanks Clive.
Thanks Lesley
This is such a beautiful song and wonderfully performed.
Thanks Ellen, you have good taste! 🙂
A great cover version with Mick Rogers on guitar adding that extra bit of 'something'. ❤
Really enjoying another upload. Thanks to you all. ❤
Thanks Lesley. Feel free to share!
Just one of my favourite songs - with either Alice singing or you with the Back Seat Jivers.
Aaah you have such good taste! 🙂 Thank you.
A few hours after this video went live I discovered there's a new Tom Hanks film called... 'Here'! No connection, just a weird coincidence. I wrote my song 20-odd years ago, pre-RUclips of course, and this is one of a series of songs I recorded back then with my daughter's beautiful vocals. I'm uploading them because, well, it's high time they were heard. Check out 'Snow On A Beach' and 'No Justice'. There will be more! Please subscribe. Thanks. CH, 2nd Nov 2024
Absolutely beautiful 😍
Thank you! There's more coming soon...
