Band Members: Just Frankly, guitarist & sometimes vocalist.
Influences: My influences cover a fairly broad spectrum. Amongst my favourites are the baroque composer J.S. Bach, Flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia. Funk, soul, jazz & blues man Johnny "guitar" Watson, Ravi Shankar, George Harrison, Tony Boylan, Johnny Mullhern (man can play the saz like a dervish), Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Albert Hoffman.
My absolute guitar hero is the late Frank Zappa.
Sounds Like: This is always a difficult blurb to write. My musical tastes can change on a daily basis and once I start writing a song it can take on a life of it's own and grow in unexpected ways.
Most of my experimentations involve the combination of seemingly incompatible musical forms in an attempt to create something that people can dance to. This has involved some electronica, a lot of blues, rock & reggae and the occasional dip into traditional music from all over the world (particularly eastern microtonal music and traditional Irish)
The only constant is a positive attitude (musically) though this can often be offset by harmonic dissonances.
