Jackamo Brown

In 2002 Jackamo Brown came down from the mountain on which he had been living for no small amount of time in isolation. The years preceding his decent were given to the study of Philosophy, writing and the occasional plucking of a battered old guitar. Late in 2003 I met him in a pub in West Wales and heard him play a couple of his songs - after hours and for his own amusement. I tried to convince him that night to let me record some of his music but it wasn't until another year or so had passed that the rough tracks above (and the other 4 that comprise his Bare Bones demo) were recorded. This page was set up on Jackamo's behalf (and intially without his knowledge) but the elusive Mr. Brown has gradually been convinced of the site's merits and is now regularly checking the page and using it to seek out inspired music and interesting people.
