Band Members: The band is me talking and my guitar trying to follow. Spoken word over chords and melody. Country as a crack full of sand and as folk as an army of morris dancers......usually....however I have recently been working on a collaboration with Swoop Owly Owl which has seen my folk sensibilities dragged into other genres and soundscapes, the metaphorical equivalent of tootling along a country lane on your pushbike and suddenly finding yourself on a six lane highway. So....the band for this project includes Ronny Rindo on percussion, Adam Bodkin on Bass and the Owl himself (Leigh Ivin) on Geetar(s) and, along with my humble strummings, the whole lot has been added to considerably by a host of coalface practitioners including the unbreakable Uncle Burnin Luurv (Shaun Butcher) and Gleny Rae Virus, with the great angry man of Australian Blues- Chris Wilson featuring on a very wild remix of the track listed here....The stories are about life, love and the land (aint they all) and they mostly rhyme.....watch this space for a release mid year.
