Its been a while since my last upload.. but I hope you agree this is worth the wait. Completed as part of my A2 Music Technology A - Level, this is a cover of John Mayer's 'Slow Dancing In A Burning Room'. A lot of work, from a lot of musicians, went into recording this track and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I would like to give a massive thank you to the following people;

Ferg Moran - Lead Vocal
Jacob Smith - Drums & Harmony Vocal
Hayley Wiltshire - Harmony Vocal
Mekhola Roychowdhury - Harmony Vocal & Cello
Jack Johnson - Harmony Vocal
Paul Ingrey - Fretless Bass

I couldn't have done it without these guys.

As always, I played all the guitar parts and the whole track was  recorded and produced by me. I hope you enjoy it, thanks for listening. 

Peace.
