Jack Jones aka Irwin Thomas_"Lead Me To Water"

Jack Jones aka Irwin Thomas at Centro CBD, Wollongong April 22nd 2021.
I make no apology for the shaky start - I'm happy my album was signed :)
I have had the privilege of meeting many artists over the years but I believe Jack Jones / Irwin Thomas, to date is the most humble off all. Thank you for the 'therapy session' and the time you shared signing records and posing for photos.
I could have edited out the stories but I have chosen not to. These clips are discreetly taken on a handheld camera for my pleasure to relive a fantastic evening so I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I. Thank you for taking the time to watch.

crazy talented .... love him

[@msfyn]

You are not alone - he is a wonderful, talented and humble gentleman. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

Saw Jack with the fabulous caprettos a few months back, I’d been dreaming of seeing him ever since listening to the southern sons in my late teens.. he absolutely is incredible. And while John Farnham has always been my favourite as a kid and still now, Jack - don’t feel the pressure or the uncomfort… you are absolutely so good and no one else come close to John, except you. Incredible musicians, each in their own rights and together.

[@msfyn]

If ever you get to see an acoustic show such as this, do so, you will be blown away. There are several clips on my channel including the Fabulous Caprettos. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

like farnsy, he'll never lose that voice!

[@msfyn]

A brilliant performer and a very humble gentleman.

[@kamfan80]

Saw him perform w the SS gents at Southport Nov 2019 w half a voice & still battled through all the SS ballads 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Met JJ after the show & as buggered as he was he was still sooo humble! 💖🎙💖

[@mattrixx_audio]

This!!!! is awesome!

[@msfyn]

I agree 100%. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@evilstuie82]

This was already my favourite song ever... I never knew the background, so for that only this was an awesome find, the John Farnham comparison dynamic itself was enough, but Jack's grace to everything.....another level... Then this brilliant bastard smashes out this rendition of his song!!!!!... Sorry, but fuck the rage version; the basis on which my existence and being is based on.... this on it's own at its least, just rearranged my entire life. Thanks Jack. You are what we're all meant to be, and an inspiration to everyone everywhere!

[@msfyn]

Wow! what a powerful comment. Some people do not like the waffle and just want the song - your comment embraces why I love to leave it in. Jack aka Irwin I know I am repeating myself, repeating myself.. when I say he is the most humble artist I have ever met and I have met many local & international artists. Sorry about the shaky start - I was trying to video and release my album cover from its cardboard coffin. Blessings to you🌻

[@trudywilson4865]

You are incredible yourself ❤❤❤

[@msfyn]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Thank you for your kind words

[@andrewspaltman]

I would put him in the same class as Farnham on any day of the week , if not better !

[@msfyn]

With no disrespect to John Farnham, I believe Jack is far more versatile. We are all entitled to our opinions {and I also enjoy John Farnham's music}. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@salsmell6815]

Woo hoo u were awesome at Frankston Festival on ya Jack!!!

[@catherinedixon4853]

Jack and Richard should do an Australian concert tour together

[@msfyn]

Interesting thought. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@MrFabianFrank]

Just beautiful

[@msfyn]

He truly is a fantastic performer. 🌻Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@christinesmart5671]

Wow what a great version ❤️

[@msfyn]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. If you get the chance to see him live do so, you won't regret it.

[@christinesmart5671]

@@msfyn 🙏 and I’ve seen him many times live. He’s an awesome musician and singer 😊

[@msfyn]

@@christinesmart5671 I saw him Saturday night with The Fabulous Caprettos so more videos to follow. He is awesome

[@christinesmart5671]

@@msfyn in NSW I gather! Thank you so much for uploading the videos! I saw him in Adelaide on 21st with the caprettos and he was awesome as always 😊

[@msfyn]

@@christinesmart5671 yes in NSW. I am pleased someone {yourself} has pleasure in watching these videos, thank you

[@hamelyn06]

Jack's in action. Gen a tal clash

[@msfyn]

An amazing entertainer & humble gentleman. Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment.

[@rmtagasa]

I'm still looking for the acoustic version they did in a studio. I loved that one.

[@msfyn]

Is it only the LP? Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@rmtagasa]

@@msfyn I can't remember if that was a special edition of their Nothing But the Truth album, but I do remember I had a cassette tape that had Lead Me To Water and You Were There unplugged version at the end :D

[@msfyn]

@@rmtagasa It was on 'Nothing But The Truth' CD / cassette perhaps that is what you are thinking of? I have to be honest and say I don't know. This man is an amazing talent & quite the chameleon 💟

[@peterdent2019]

Jack should sing some Lead with Noiseworks - do some Southern Sons tunes in the middle, like Queen+Paul Rodgers did some Free and Bad Company tunes in Queen shows

[@msfyn]

Not quite Noiseworks but you have the Fabulous Caprettos, or when they do the 'Image' tour. Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment.

[@mikedennis]

Just so good. Ridiculous.

[@msfyn]

He certainly is. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@Stormtrooper21972]

Loved it until you tried to strain out the bridge. Why??

[@msfyn]

Only he holds that answer but just enjoy the magic this gentleman brings forth. Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment.

[@jasonbull3987]

Cause he could. Could you"strain" out those notes?

[@msfyn]

@@jasonbull3987 I do not profess to be a musician, just a music lover. Jack is the most humble artist I have ever met, and I have met many international and local artists.

[@grantmiller1077]

My wife & I saw this legend in Mornington solo awhile back..what an awesome night. He was blown away when the crowd were singing along to his set list 🙏🏻 Just on another note 😜.. can anyone send me a link to the chords & tuning? I’ve tried but can’t seem to online 🙏🏻

[@rustyhguitar1]

@@grantmiller1077 I play this song in standard tuning (for me - capo 2 and in G) Not as sweet as the voicings in whatever this tuning is (open D?) but it works - and let me be the first to say I’m not worthy to even tune his guitars 😊 either as a player or a singer. But I love playing and singing and I love these songs

[@whatwouldiknow1759]

Is he bald now? Can't believe it!

[@msfyn]

Not bald just closely shaved. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@IdonthaveatwittersoFoff.]

Holy fuck….his voice is sincerely an eargasm.

[@msfyn]

An amazing voice for sure, and a truly humble gentleman. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@IdonthaveatwittersoFoff.]

Just think…he only wanted to be a session guitarist. We’d have missed all of the gift his voice was…..

[@IdonthaveatwittersoFoff.]

7:48 what in the holy vocal fuck?!

[@msfyn]

@@IdonthaveatwittersoFoff. Not too shabby hey. An amazing humble human. Take a look at the more recent clips of him on this channel. Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment.
