I'm Shaun Murray, a fingerstyle guitarist from Maidstone in Kent. I started learning in my secondary school years but gave up at 16 - I guess a lack of motivation and inspiration were the causes! I took it up again at 36.
Most of my postings are solo arrangements, the transcriptions for most of which are available to buy through my website www.shaunmurray.co.uk.
Recordings: The Entertainer (2001), Nails and Nylon (2006) and Capricho (2007) are out of print now but a remastered 17-track compilation entitled 'Never Alone' featuring tracks from all 3 albums is now available from my website. My most recent album - Theatreland (2016) features songs from the shows.
If you'd like me to perform at your event, please contact me.
Squeeze is one of my very favorite bands. My introduction to them was East Side Story. Wow. What a beautiful interpretation of a beautiful song, Shaun.
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's an amazing track and the guys were so young when they wrote and recorded it. I thought it deserved a guitar arrangement
I'm from South Korea. I used to hum this song 14 years ago when I was having a hard time in the military. Your great performance reminds me of those precious times. Thank you.
The tab for this is great! Also, performance note you sent with it helped a lot with making it sing, rather than just being sheet music. Thanks for doing these songs- the ones every knows, but don't exist for guitar without your fine work.
How lovely to get your kind comment, thank you - I'm glad you enjoy performing this one, Gilbert is such a great songwriter I really enjoyed committing to arranging some of his songs I have four of his on my channel, maybe it's time to do more
Hi Shaun. I love this arrangement. Got to figure out how to get it. I’ll go to your website and send you another message with my G-Mail address and see if that will work. Not sure why it’s not coming through my PayPal email address? Thanks for your help.
I have heard 100 amazing guitarist attempt this tune without success. It is not a tune suited for guitar, until now! Your arrangement and execution is masterful. Great job and thank you.
