Background graphics by Paul Sacre, with thanks (his guitar, not mine). Otherwise, all my own back-bedroom efforts!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 07/09/2006
Band Members: Just me and Franky. He's the one with the voice, I'm the silent partner.
Influences:Roy Harper, Martin Simpson and so many more for their wonderful sounds, their skill, and their attitude to life and music.
Julie Murphy - her fantastic voice & for singing in Welsh, Kathryn Roberts & Kate Rusby for their wonderful singing, Steven Stills, Nick Harper, Kelly Joe Phelps, Loso, Karine Polwart etc etc
And there are all those others, who are masters of their voice and their instruments and have my full admiration.
Sounds Like: Amateur twanging on a guitar (it's a nice guitar, though).
Record Label: Ha, ha, very funny/div

Blockages

I've got myself a nice little new tune, and it's coming along ok. Ready to record soon.  Only, I'm totally stumped for a name for it.  The best I got from the only friend who had any views -...

With a bit of tweaking, I've put another song on there. The 'Bimble' developed into a seaside bimble. With thanks to MGS for the photo taken in Newquay to go with it. A couple more to come soon, once...
