[@peegeface1]

Darren is back with some of the best musicians ever assembled, including Nikki. He's been putting out a new video every week for the last 11 months. www.youtube.com/@singitliveworld/featured He has some of the familiar faces from HSCC ( Nikki, Tzan, Melissa, Zkye etc ) and lots of new faces who are just as good.

Fantastic, he’s back, the real brains behind HSCC, keep em’ coming👍

[@daveflanagan4213]

Never was a truer word said with Paedar also on the video mastery

[@keithfisher6244]

@@daveflanagan4213 Have so missed them great sounds to be offered the 5/10 inferior stuff by the shadow of its former self HSCC by Con and Dave Ross. Let’s hope Darren gets the momentum back, sure he will👍

[@daveflanagan4213]

Keith Fisher: agree mostly. I do think Dave Ross is a good sound man but yeah I give Darren the higher score. Con is a smart guy in many ways too but like you, to me as it was birthed in so many of us was the me balanced team of Con and Darren. I have become more positive about e whole sad debacle whatever happened and still think to punch out classics each week to as really good standard is no mean feat. Videography has defo taken a dive. Guess resources are limited but Paedar at SmakOn Content is the biz. Take a look at the Lexington Lab Band to see top musicianship and videography.!

[@keithfisher6244]

@@daveflanagan4213 I agree and you would know more about the background behind it all. To me, sound is no where near as good as it was, which I can only account to Darren being out of the equation. The videoing is on the lines of a school production and song choice has gone the rock route. Oh for Sarah belting out I’m every woman etc. Ok, still a reasonable listen every Thursday but secretly I’m hoping all the decent vocalists musicians go back to Darren Cheers

[@SmakOnContent]

@@daveflanagan4213 You're a wonderful support, and I'm truly humbled and grateful. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@jeffbuckles]

When that bass player came in on the low harmony I had to scroll down right then to see who he is. Oh, he's her DAD?! Well there you go! Love your sound, and hope we get to hear more of you.
