| Description |
I play banjo, 12 & 6 string guitar (plus oddments - below). Broadly folk-ish/acoustic, with a dash of americana thrown in; also like trippy psychy music, indie, soul funk jazz dub post-punk the lot really but can't actually play much of those . . . I write songs; can sing a bit. Recording skills a bit basic . Original material besides covers. Happy to see where it goes, for the joy of music. |
