About Me

..

Here's what people are saying about Bohemia Road:
According to a recent review on Broadjam, "Bohemia Road combine
live instrumentation, electonica and lush vocal arrangements to
produce a vibe that is nothing short of blissful"
"You can hear the influences of people like Nick Drake & Donovan,
James Taylor, Crosby Stills & Nash, Indigo Girls and Wes Montgomery -
but this is completely original music"
"Class musicianship"
"Bohemia Road delivers an eclectic blend of tunes that cover Folk,
Jazz & even Country genres that crosses international borders "
"Beautiful".
"The songs are both sensitive and positive, and the writing & somewhat
freestyle vocal delivery are rapidly earning Bohemia Road
a reputation as master storytellers".
A former head of A & R at Island Records recently tipped Bohemia Road as "Essential listening for grown-ups".

Influences: Too many to cover them all. The famous ones go from Nick Drake & John Martyn to Little Feat, Crosby, Stills & Nash and the Indigo Girls. Then there's Steve Harley, (Mr. Nice Himself)!, Sam Cooke, The Staple Singers, maybe a bit of Dave Gilmour and some T-Bone Walker, - a little Tim Buckley. And let's not forget James Taylor & Joni Mitchell. The list is pretty much endless!!
Many of these influences can be heard in the songs. Some are less famous - like my old friend Charlie Hutchinson, which is really where the whole Bohemia Road thing comes from.
It sounds kind of grand, but it's really a sad, run-down street in Hastings, full of shops that sell 'Antiques' and unneccesary plastic objects. The only really good thing about it is the fact that it's the main road out of town.
But it's where this story really started - in about 1980 - in a studio built in a double garage, behind Bohemia Road.
I have no idea how I got from there to here, but the journey's been amazing.
And the best bit is that it's not over.....
