If you would like to check out the band page, "WILL COBBETT BAND" featuring the CD "CHARM PARTICLES", then please go to the following link: www.myspace.com/willcobbettband or click on the picture in my friends list.The CDBABY LINK for the "Charm Particles" CD by the "WILL COBBETT BAND" is below, click on pic:You can also download tracks from Apple itunes or see track listings, hear samples and see a review at: www.cdbaby.com/cd/willcobbett******************************* *****************************I am a musician, songwriter, seeker, dreamer, occasional earthly and astral traveller and generally a pretty happy camper. Music, healing, nature, mysticism, the power of the human spirit and my beautiful children have been some of the many things that have inspired me along the way. Long may it continue.*************************************************** *********I have been fortunate enough to have played with many fine musicians over the years and have been involved with many bands and music projects. I have been mostly based in the UK, but I have also spent some time in the USA and recorded one of my albums there. I have produced 6 of my own albums, the current one,"Charm Particles", has recently been released. The tracks are available for preview on the Band site. It is a blend of contemporary and classic rock styles with an acoustic/electric mix.******************************************************** ****I play guitar and/or bass in other bands too, my musical connections are always changing and evolving and like any adventurous musician I am constantly drawn to new horizons. I would say that I have very varied and eclectic tastes in music, I also teach guitar and bass too! My large collection of Tibetan singing bowls inspires me at the more esoteric end of my musical spectrum. They are truly beautiful and awesome instruments.************************************************ ************I live in the country, near to the sea and hills in beautiful, wild, West Wales. I live a generally quiet, but also full and sometimes eventful life with my 2 teenage daughters whom I have home educated. I also have a wonderful son who is out in the world adventuring, usually to be found either climbing mountains or sliding down them.******************************************************* *****I have travelled widely over the years and been to some amazing places on this beautiful planet of ours. I went overland to India when it was still possible, without going through a war zone. I've been to Africa, the USA, the Caribbean and all over Europe too. I lived abroad in Spain and Portugal for a while, when the children were younger, but this is my home again for now. And very lovely it is too. ***********************************************************D rop me a line if you feel a connection or just want to say hi!Blessings and lightwaves fellow spacers and terrestials, Will.
