The Eiderdowns

About Me

The Eiderdowns are Guy Bainbridge (guitar and vocals) and Patrick Lawrence (violin). We play a mix of folk, rock, pop, world music, and obscure tunes. Sometimes very obscure (i.e. our own stuff!). 'Lucious melodic contemporary folk' - IndieHeart.com. 'A stunning musical duo' - Terry Kelly, The Informer.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
