I bought my first castagnari in 1988, the rest is on saulrose.co.uk.
I tried giving up music about 7 years ago, went back to pharmacy for a year and from then I'd been toiling away in the pharmaceutical industry as a sales rep (still miss that car...). Trouble is (or not...) that music never went away, so I've launched myself back onto the tender mercies of the music industry. So far I've managed to complete a tour with Faustus and a tour with Eliza. Now smack bang in the middle of recording the Faustus album and still finding time for gigs. Busy busy busy :)
This year I'll be working with (in no particular order):
Faustus, John Dipper and Laurel Swift, Duo with Eliza Carthy, Dansaul, Duo with Maclaine Colston, Waterson:Carthy, Random, Whapweasel, Morris Offspring,
Look forward to seeing you somewhere in 2007...
Cheers, Saul
