Influences: gypsy folk stomping barnstorming cider-swilling whiskey-spitting badger patting goat trapping sorts. naked pagan shenanagins, or otherwise murderousness; the last corsair, if he exists, the last refuges of a folkish musician, the poisoning ballads, the devilish encounters, the cannibalistic impulses. Anne Bonny and Mary Read, un-thwartable lady buccaneers of fame and insurmountable bravery. the melancholic, the vitriolic, Eastern european and scandanavian folk Laijko Felix, Holst's Beni Mora, Rachmaninoff, Schostakovich, Hedningarna, Vartina, Led Zeppelin, John Lee Hooker, Pentangle, Dirty 3, Nick Cave and the bad seeds, Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra, Serious Sam Barrett, Bellowhead, Elgar's Cello Concerto, The Warsaw village band, The finely honed guitars of Miller Senior, sinister folk tales, places of outstanding natural beauty, blasted heaths, bonfires, the springtime cherry blossom orchards.
