    Apart from this being next level smooth sliding off the screen, it was also put together very quickly after Shaun was ill and the track had to be changed. If you watch Crafty's behind the scenes video above you will understand. This could have easily just been Darren singing with someone else on the boards, but it adds so much more. Even the one handed playing for most of it allowed his emotion to come through. Crafty, Michael and Damo just sealed the deal. Top marks as ever. I suspect that Harley was off somewhere drinking his own Hot Chocolate. Thanks to the whole crew for this adventure you are taking us all on! Roll on 2024! Kudos from Matty x

  • @JamesJohnson-xw9jn
    @JamesJohnson-xw9jn 4 місяці тому +8

    It's worth checking out Crafty's UA-cam channel before you watch the cover this week to see how well everyone did with the change of circumstances regarding the song, normally I do it the other way round but heard there was an issue so I did it this way and glad I did. That being said, yet another musical mastercraft from all involved and such a lovely chilled out song to end the year on, so wishing you all a Happy New Year for 2024 wherever you are in the world and here's to move awesome covers :)

    It was great to hear Hot Chocolate covered, and covered so well. Errol was such an amazing and expressive singer that few would be brave enough to try, and fewer still have the talent of Darren to pull it off.
    It's a song I would like to hear you sing in a live concert. I know the basement recordings are live, but you have to sing fairly softly. How magical this would be if Darren could open up his voice fully.
