Cheers for the support people.....Nancy, I've got enough with strings and things, but I've often thought of giving the harp a go! Yeah Oily I'll give it some nutzzzzz, just getting used to things at the moment.

 fun song think some harmonica in the middle would be cool with this - nice voice

Nice song, Paul. Keep practicing; you're gettin' there. Guitar tone sounds great. If you do decide to do this live, you might consider giving it The Clash treatment: a bit more anger in the voice will really sell the song. Especially because the chordal arrangement is so happy / poppy sounding. The contrast would work really well. Good job.
