GUEST,Sunjay Brayne Sunjay Brayne in Poole free gig (128* d) RE: Sunjay Brayne in Poole free gig 09 May 12


Right! *Rolls up sleeves*
Firstly to Big Al, Brian & Kitty thank you for your kind comments and encouragement. -Although Al "traddy al quaeda"? Come on, I must admit that when I started out (A mere 9 months ago), I didn't much like traditional music, however time has changed me and I have grown musically, and I can now appreciate all forms of music (traditional included). Being at college has helped me greatly with that. A lesson perhaps that many people should learn on here? Respect for music and musical talent is of the most important things to me. Sure it might not be your thing (Traditional, Contemporary, Blues, or otherwise), but I think people need to stop thinking that their opinions are more important than the HOURS of work/practise that artists such as myself do.

Secondly, to Gibsonboy - for you to have the tenacity to say that I "just copy Chris Smither all the time" shows how little you really know. You Sir are the one who needs to get out more, specifically to one of my gigs, and you will see what a load of rubbish you talk! Yes I do a handful of Chris SMITHER (Not Smithers you ignoramus, a common misconception by people who don't know him and don't know his music... I also do a handful of Roger Brooks songs - no doubt if you knew Roger you'd call me a Roger Brooks tribute act? Well...?

"most of his guitar playing has been stolen or copied from Chris Smither"

Again what I load of rubbish, what that really means is "I went on youtube, clicked on the first link I saw, and saw Sunjay doing Love You Like A Man, and never bothered to check out the other 1h 27mins of his set." Most of my playing is "stolen"? Yeah me and every other guitar player in the world! May I remind you of a certain Bob Dylan who for several years when he first started performing, was doing ONLY a mix of old Blues songs & Woodie Guthrie.
Again you obviously haven't researched me, because if you had, you would know that I am currently working on a new CD project which will have mainly my on material on. (With a few covers just to keep you happy!)

Thirdly, Stallion - I'm sorry that my voice "grated" on you. I would like to quash this rumor that I sing in an American accent, a British accent or anything else. - At the Wath Young Performers Competition I was praised by all three judges for singing in my own accent, whilst encompassing an American flavor. May I add that the way i sing is not "put on" or anything like that, and if I do sound American to you then it hardly matters to me, seeing as I am in fact a quarter American.
My paternal grandfather's family were pre-Mayflower Americans FYI.
So if there is a touch of American in there, great! I'm also half Indian. If i sang in an Indian accent would you say the same? I hope not.
Thank you for not "rubbishing" me though, however back-handed compliments are always the worst...

Sunjay
