Darren is back with some of the best musicians ever assembled, including Nikki.

[@paulferron3191]

WOW, just WOW. Wonderful cover - outstanding vocals - and I love the engineering of an additional mic to pick-up the acoustic strumming (great attention to production details) Great job

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]
