Rob Skipper & The Musical Differences

About Me


Hello we are The Musical Differences.
We began as a side project to Rob's former musical calling, the Holloways. His 4 years as a Holloway recently came to a close, making The Musical Differences his main calling in life.
We are going to be playing gigs here there and everywhere and we will have some recordings up on here soon. For now enjoy these videos.
Vive la difference!
