Floyd Vincent and the Childbrides

From the age of ten when he first picked up the classical guitar through to his first professional band at the age of fourteen and up to the present Floyd has been totally immersed in the world of music and performance. For the past 17 years he has largely by-passed musical trends and fads preferring to follow his own muse and lead one of Australia’s most unique and enduring bands as they record and tour both here and overseas. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ********I went out three times this week,twice to see Floyd Vincent and the Childbrides .
