    Ahoy there viewers, Captain Tricko & his LOW RENT ORCHESTRA is all about having fun & poking cheek with Live Music Afloat & On the Road or at Markets & Festivals & quite possibly a street near you. Captain Tricko is a ONE MAN BAND FOR HIRE - the fair dinkum Singer / Songwriter / Poet / Storyteller and human urger plays little Martin Guitar - Broomstick Slide Guitar - Granpa's Cigar Box Guitar - Lap Steel - Banjo - Ukelele - Stomp box - Harmonica - Melodica - Tibetan Gong - Footbells - Jaw Harp - while he hollers and sings his hokum for you. LOVEs TO JAM - LOVEs TO SURF - LOVEs TO LAUGH - Folks, ain't it good to be alive ! ! !

CHECK OUT THE CAPTAIN BUSKING AT: Mooloolaba Esplanade - on the beach at Noosa - Sunshine Coast markets where you will find his CDs FOR SALE - You can also hear Captain Tricko on the soundtrack of SBS film " NOT FORGOTTEN " A documentary by Mark Lee & Jane Jeffes / Firefly Productions - A DVD is available. CURRENTLY The Captain is : Making friends with folks on the street - Making friends with technology - Playing heaps of ukelele - totally getting ready for next year - dwelling on the great people he meets while busking - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE - Meanwhile . . . . The BIG FAT WORLD Busking Tour which started in NZ in Feb 2007 continues without definite strategy. New Zealand, Japan & Vanuatu are strong possible destinations for a bit of blues busking when the shaking stops.These cigar box guitars could also be twanging at your market, on your cruise ship, in your cafe or maybe at your backyard bbq.
