Great version. I also entered the competition, but did not make my video public. Seems they went for 'younger' dudes for the final 10 or so. I am 'lets say' getting on a bit and likely not 'talent of tomorrow? And I likely was crap! 😂It was great fun entering though. As it happens I have cruised quite a lot and been in the Gary Barlow's designed bar in the Iona. Also on the Celebrity Ships, you get the chance to perform with live bands.
@howlindudes9982 Thanks for your encouragement. I originally just kept the video unlisted, one to avoid it being taken down whilst still in the judging phase if it got copyright strike and to see if it had been viewed as only they had the link. It certainly got viewed a number of times. Perhaps there was a aim to get younger candidates and I was mindful of that prior to entering but I had a look at the musicians in the ships band and felt I'd be a good fit with them and how they perform. It would have been nice to get just an email from them even if it was automated to acknowledge the ambition in applying. Just get marketing instead lol. Ive been on the Azura before in the Caribbean and saw some amazing performances that inspired me to want to be on those stages. I went from busking on the streets to performing to audiences of over 5000 with my band selling out venues so im comfortable with my abilities. I wish you well with your musical endeavours and your break will come 👍
Thanks for the comments. By the way you had a great jam with Brian May (on your channel). The thing about the bands on cruise ships. I think they mostly have to play off music scores or tabs? I only play by ear so would not be much use. All the best!
I'm just an ear player, and could get by on chords and always have worked that way. I guess you would have to be able to learn songs quickly in that kind of a gig. Yes the Brian May was fun, I was asked to sing today at the Red Special guitar meeting but couldn't go due to work and other priorities. The members of my band have just sent me pictures of them with Brian May as he attended. Would have been great to meet/sing with him as i think he performed. Gutted but I'm glad they got the opportunity.
@jovu2453 Thanks for your encouragement it's a completion run by Gary Barlow for the P and O cruises, to find unique artists for their exclusive club. They have their top 3 now but thought I would make the video public.

Mate, dunno what this competition is, but this is great. Good luck, hope you win
