Red 333 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 You make that AJ look like an L-00! Great publicity! Good for you. I hope it helps you launch your solo recording career. When will we hear something? Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thanks guys! Nick, I have indeed-I've lost 112lbs in the last 18mths...I was extremely tubby but managed to get it under control! Red, I've been making solo records for a long time-my new one, 'Crumbs Of Comfort' is my eighth album...there are some new songs from the album at www.jinder.co.uk via soundcloud :-) I do make the AJ look tiny...when I was at my heaviest I made my SJ200 look like a Nick Lucas!!

duluthdan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Very pleasant story and photo. Congrats on the new contract with Universal. I predict this will reignite your rocket to the stars! Love your songs on this side of the big pond. Ciao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 . Good stuff. You're looking nice and trim. Congrats on the weight loss. Has that helped with the shoulder problem? A while back I caught some clips on Tumbler from the new album and really like them. Looking forward to the release. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 No lefty, but lofty. I don't really know how much 6 feet plus is, but the picture works fine. And a deal with Universal, , , that's something, isn't it. . . . Good luck up there - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yeah, I remember first time I came across a video of yours here couple years ago and thought this is the smallest J-200 Ive ever seen ! Congrats on the weight loss, that is a huge before and after effort ... btw: whats the secret, I want to lose a couple kilos too ..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertjohn Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 All the best with the new album Jinder. Haven't heard it yet but if it's even remotely as good as Nine Cents it will be fab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinder Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thanks guys! I'm amazed we haven't had any "tall story" puns yet... I'm really grateful to be written about for the first time in ages. The Universal thing came about almost by accident via my publisher. As some of you guys may remember, I had a deal with Sony BMG in 2008/9 with my former band The Mercurymen, which ended prematurely and left my career in the doldrums for a long time. I spent three years making my new album, and currently earn a living playing in bars and restaurants, doing function gigs and weddings and so forth. I'm not complaining, though-it's a privilege to earn a living from music. It's just really nice to be in the press for the first time in a very long time. The article seems to have caught on, especially in Ireland-I'm in the Irish Independent and Belfast Telegraph today, and MSN, TalkTalk and Yahoo are all running the article on their entertainment pages. It's a real treat. Plus the AJ is in all the pics, so hopefully lots of other tall musicians will run straight to their dealers and buy Gibsons!

Rambler Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Silly press, but press, nonetheless (a whole lot going on with ya besides the '38 pants length!). Wish all success with Crumbs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Nothin' wrong with being tall and talented. You're nose to nose with Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel. Good company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseybeat1963 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Nows when you have to begin to act all stoned & messed up in public..ala Keith Richards..That is the key to success on this side of the pond..look at what it did for Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean..he now can buy all the guitars he wants. Hit a few photographers(but not too hard)..as you'll probably kill them.I think Hugh Grant has a few instructional videos out there on how its done. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hehehe I can't hit photographers-I have to employ 'em to take pics of me! It IS silly press...but a bit of fun. I guess I'm lucky to have lankiness as my USP! The story made several national and regional papers in the UK yesterday, and I got cornered in my local music shop by people who wanted to chat...ironically, right as I was asking my wife if I could borrow £5 for a set of strings...things are rarely what they seem. Apparently the aim is TV and Radio next week, things will go crazy if we get either of those lined up :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
