Managed to squeeze in this cover of the Smiths song, just acoustic guitar and voice.

The chord structure on this is a real joy to play, capo on fret 2

Thanks guys.  I recorded this with my acoustic guitar mic'd rather than using the onboard pick-up, plus I used the onboard mics on the Zoom R16 as atmosphere.  Pleased with the result - always found the onboard pickup a little to tight sounding (Ibanez Talman).

The vocals are a bit ropey.  Have toyed with re-recording them, but I like the way the fade works so I'm going to leave it.
