Thanks to Ray who contacted me to say that although he’s loving playing Spanish/Flamenco style guitar, there seems to be less gigs around for this type of work. As it happens, he’s right but not just about specialised niches like the flamenco area he concentrates in. Pretty much all entertainers have been feeling the strain [...]
Here’s a few older backing tracks we’ve just uploaded. Hopefully you’ll find one or two favourites amongst these! Whenever you come around – Vince Gill A lovely country song by Vince Gill, this song is the first track on his brilliant When love finds you album. Our backing track of Whenever you come around is [...]
Not to be confused with the Drifters version, this is a completely different arrangement of Save the last dance for me. This backing track is the Michael Buble arrangement and is absolutely brilliant. It has a strong latin american feel to it. It’s simply pure genius from Michael Buble and one of the best backing [...]
One of the greatest singers to arrive in the new Millenium, this Michael Buble song is a nice easy-going tune and perfect for any male singer. This backing track keeps to the original Michael Buble arrangement and has a nice little acoustic guitar solo in the middle. Brilliant backing track. Listen to a 30 second [...]
A very popular cabaret singer, sadly no longer with us, David Alexander recorded this brilliant version of The answer to everything. This backing track is in the style of the David Alexander arrangement and a great song to sing for an older crowd. We’ve created it in the original David Alexander key of D but [...]
Pat contacted me and asked a question about using an iPod for backing tracks live on stage: Hi, I read your article on putting in silent songs which is a good fit for us. There is still an issue of the iPod making a click or pop when you press the start or stop buttons. [...]
Dance music at its best with this great tune. This backing track of the David Guetta featuring Kelly Rowland song When love takes over is based on the radio play version. Like most dance tunes there are various mixes of the song around so by sticking to the radio version the arrangement is in a [...]
I just love this raunchy rock song with bags of power and attitude. This backing track of Mika We are golden is the radio play version and a great song. This is definitely one of those power to the people type songs that will get any audience enthusiastic. Brilliant backing track. Listen to a 30 [...]
One of the biggest hits of the year 2009, this Black Eyed Peas song ‘I gotta feeling’ keeps to the radio play arrangement. It’s a great backing track and one of the catchiest hooklines you’ll ever hear. Guaranteed to delight your audience and get them singing along. Listen to a 30 second audio clip (below) [...]
