I've just listened to the Jon Doran set in full (got fed up of the repetitive news programmes!)
I think he shows much promise. A pleasant voice and accomplished guitar etc player. I had no problems following the songs. The instrumental element was well judged in my opinion. My only comment would be that the instrument was too loud compared to the voice but this is a fairly common issue with live streamed gigs - understandably as I am sure it is difficult to get the balance right though some manage it.
I would certainly pay to go to see him at a club.
By the way it is well worth watching the rest of the CCC Festival. I discovered a number of new singers to me - most notably Jen Butterfield. The highlight of what I have seen so far was the set by Calan-ish which was absolutely tremendous
