www.cornishmusic.com presents the S.G.T. Project.

About Me

In today's climate of music as commodity, and its associated downward spiralling collection of one chord wonders masquerading as artists.. Who will save the world?...........Enter the S.G.T. Project. A collection of music with a nod back to earlier times, but encompassing the technology and the outlook of the twenty -first century.................Music crafted with skill and lovingly paying tribute to a musical past - shadows of a time of progression and creativity. There is a sense of boundaries being pushed - jazz meets rock meets acid meets metal meets blues and interacts with the chemistry of the three musicians involved...........This unique totally instrumental trip makes great rock music that has vitality and a feeling of new areas being explored - a freedom to experiment with any possibility..................But hey - let's not disappear up our own arses completely - the bottom line is simply that these guys are exciting adventurous musicians and a great live act...........................(Top of the Hill Recordings - Summer 2004).Shane Bailey Fender Stratocaster / Session and Fender Amps Simon Phillips Yamaha Drums Tim Chapple Rickenbacker 4003 / Trace Elliott AmpsTim ChappleTim Chapple has worked with a multitude of musicians, from Afro Rock / Jazz meisters Zambula to various combos and styles over the last twenty years alongside the odd radio and TV appearance.
