Stuart Hall’s site for sore ears…

Ok, so I’m going back to 22nd of May for this post but I just wanted to tell the world about a most amazing night.

Josh Doyle, for those who don’t know, was front man and songwriting dude with pop/rock/punk band the Dum Dums. Since their split he moved to Nashville where he works by day and pursues a musical career at all other times.

Well, after 8 years of getting his sh*t together he finally made it back to these shores to perform a few selected gigs around the country.

I was lucky enough to grab some tickets to his Bristol show, where he performed as an acoustic duo with his guitar player to a tightly packed room of around 30 people…. and boy did he perform!

If you weren’t there then you’re never gonna know how amazing the night was but take it from me if you ever get the chance to see him in such a small, intimate setting then don’t think twice, don’t hesitate, grab the opportunity and you’ll ‘get it’.

To give you an example I saw the Dum Dums open for Bon Jovi at Wembley Stadium ages ago, there were around 60,000 people there and josh performed to every single person! If one man can project their personality amongst that many people and have you ‘feel it’ just imagine when you reduce that number to a close 30 people and you’ll start to understand how powerful the night was ie. take 60,000 parts of Josh Doyle charisma and add 60,000 Bon Jovi fans and each one gets one part of Josh Doyle… take the same 60,000 parts of Josh Doyle charisma and spread it among 30 people… you get the idea?! Just an amazing night…

Oddly after getting there a bit late (but not late for the show), we actually lucked out on some cheeky onstage seating so were literally sat next to him throughout the gig!

Anyway I got to say hi and had some stuff signed… but the guy must do his research cos – get this- he only knew who I was! I guess 30 people ain’t that many to remember but it just goes to show how swtiched on he is and how seriously he takes his business.

Anyway, that’s it… I just wanted to share

Also, while I’m here on another subject completely, the 3 weeks I gave myself to do the website appears to have turned into 3 days by a bit of luck and magic so as long as this posts ok I’ll announce this site now open… yay!

Soooo, were you expecting something different? Aha! well Stuart Hall Guitar Tutor is going through some changes – it’s an age thing!

But bare with me a little while whilst I whip this site into a more community friendly, diverse, interesting, and student participating site.

But it may take a few weeks… it’s now 28th May… I reckon 3 weeks from now we’ll be basically there… start your watches!
