ABOUT

Played the Celtic professional folk circuit in Scotland in the 90s and until about 5 years ago on the blues rock scene around the country from a Berkshire base.

Now Cornwall based and getting a bit ancient, I'm trying to put together something a little more laid back. Currently working with an excellent young keys player covering some Americana, country and some celtic influenced stuff - but with very much an acoustic vibe. Leaving the LP/tele etc on the rack for this one.

Looking for a bass player to who might like this kind of acoustic setup. (The bass doesn't have to be acoustic btw!)

Might also be interested to go back to the Celtic scene if the right fiddle or accordion turned up. In contact with others who'd do this with us

Also love to hear from someone to join as a second guitar and who's happy to keep it acoustic and simple - for now anyway. You don't need to be Tommy Emmanuel. Don't want you to be!

Up front - We're good musicians, but these days we have day jobs/families etc, so we're only looking to gig locally, not tour Japan. If it appeals to you, drop us a line here or on bearblues at the co.uk version of h*tmail.
