C Joynes

Anglo-Naive And Contemporary Parlour Guitar

About Me

Original and traditional tunes, cover versions, improvised pieces, hill recordings - all instrumentals, all home recorded, all brought together under the neat sub-heading of Anglo-Naive and Contemporary Parlour Guitar.

"An outstanding guitarist"
- Andy Kershaw, BBC Radio 3.

"Without doubt the most promising post-Takoma guitarist doing the rounds right now"
- Second Layer.

"Unusual, intriguing, strangely playful. Minute variations on a given melody reminded me, in its conception though not its sound, of Eric Satie."
- Martin Sorrell, University of Exeter.
