He was a ridiculously nice guy. So humble and chilled-out and friendly. Can't say enough good things about him. Thanks for watching, pass it along...

[@Pixelkip]

He looks so happy when he plays his songs, This guys music so epic.

I had the same golden moment when he performed in Cambridge in 2008. Didn't think it could be beaten, but then he agreed to do this session for us - possibly the best musical experience of my life!

Gideon is amazing!! He is a thoroughly decent bloke a wonderful song writer and he is excellent live. This intimate interview has captured him nicely well done lads :-)

Discovered Gideon at a gig recently. A unique and supremely talented genius who can switch effortlessy between ballad, soul, bebop, skat, rap - funny, sad, thoughtful, joyous - deep or light-hearted words.

Gideon Conn, you are a genius! play more in London!

[@raresessions]

This excites me a lot!

[@blupunter]

This video is just pure joy. I might smile for a week.

[@ianbanks99]

really like this guy - I also see he is playing Band on the Wall Manchester this Thursday 26th August, so fancy getting tickets....

Just finished watching the whole thing. Great stuff, thanks for introducing me to Gideon Conn.

[@sambaron]

Glad you enjoyed it! "Intimate" was the aim, since it's rare to find extensive, free-wheeling sit-down interviews especially with lesser-know musicians - and we hope to do more of these soon with other talented newcomers. Suggestions welcome!

[@TheEmbuck78]

Seen him live a couple of times, and he's fab!

[@molesticles]

He reminds me of Emmanuel' Guttenplan from University challenge... Such an obscure reference but no less true.

[@EvilEddtheRed]

It's called 'Eccentric', and it's the opening track on his brilliant album 'New Bop Sounds'.

[@sambaron]

You're welcome - check out his MySpace and website, he's got an album coming out soon with loads more tracks not featured in this video.

[@theadonat]

love him! does anyone know what the introduction song is??? 'the groove this is the audience, audience this is the groove'?

[@toobviewer]

He plays like Feliciano and sings like Jerry Lewis.

@walshy69soldier this guys got an talent man....... i think your comment is a little rude to be fair man. i have seen him live bout 5 times and each time amazing. i think its because he's pretty unique thats the reason you may cuss him slightly. would you have the balls to get up on stage and play??

[@Hoobtastic]

seems like a nutter
