Ed Case Conway

This is me. Am I a GUITARIST ? I own several, can play a few chords (well more than the usual 3 required) and I have an expensive capo. A SINGER ? Kind of, and I know loads of songs. MANDOLIN player? sure! all eight strings in one hit, all the time every time. BASS player? occasionally but its not my strong point. SONG WRITER? infrequently, but I nearly had a hit in Poland with Paper Boat. ENTERTAINER? possibly, as I'm getting too old and too fat to be anything else. MUSICIAN? hardly but I LOVE to Play music. I Started out as a folkie in 1991 (Unicorn Folk Club/Arthur Doherty Band), Played in lots of pub duos (Lost Without a Drummer/ The Wrong Trousers to name two). I gave up my proper job in 1996 and formed RUMPUS an almost famous duo who toured constantly throughout Britain and Europe and recorded three Albums. After 4 years on the road I decided to give up playing music and sold all my instruments (that lasted for about 3 months). Since 2001 I have just played when ever the opportunity arrises, having fun and sharing great moments with an array of talented musicians and Old friends. I've got two giging bands at the moment. (but take advantage of every opportunity to play with almost anyone who asks and everyone who'll have me) Eds Two Hats is the latest name for my 4 piece pop/rock/party covers band. Just classic songs everyone knows and loves. Long sets, good humour and lots of people dancing are the order of the day. Tap The Keg is my 3 piece Folk/Skiffle/Old Time Band. Uncomplicated Foot Tapping Hand Clapping singalong songs that you feel you've known all your life. Audience participation is almost unavoidable. My outlook is simple, I enjoy music more than (almost) anything else. Sharing it with others is a pleasure and a privilage. I put everything I've got into it and never take it for granted. I believe Life is too short to listen to crap music; so I try not to play any!
