"To me it’s about the lyrics and playing original songs live, that’s why I do it. I want to experiment with the technology, create bridges between the various types of music. Trying to get a sound that’s new and exciting to me is a buzzâ€.The members....LongSpoon consists of Paul Bennett, Gez Butcher, Eddie Collins, Pete Shaw and then various lead guitarists (James Fairfoul, Larry Oliver)...The band live sound is a blend of talent and experience whereby the freedom of creativity is expressed by each artist...They all blend to make a sound that is both original and exciting...Original music is the outcome that leaves you wanting more....LongSpoon is first and foremost a live band, full of melodic powerful rifts and feels that just take you to another level...A must see performance!
