Here's what's probably influencing me most in an alt.whatever styley right at the very just now: Black Sabbath, The Doors, Lou Reed, Miles Davis, Rollins Band, Frank Zappa, Rush, The Slits, Red Hot Chili Peppers, King Crimson, Motorhead, Iggy Pop, Fishbone, Peter Wyngarde, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Charles Mingus, Nick Cave, Chasar, John Scofield, The Specials, Van Halen, Pearl Jam, John Coltrane, The Cult, Primus, Pink Floyd, Fugazi, Neil Young, Ice T, The Who, Prazsky Vyber, Queen, The Velvet Underground, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Joan Jett, Thin Lizzy, Dinosaur Jr, T.

   About Craig Hughes

Played in alt.rock bands in the 80s and 90s while developing the acoustic and blues side of things via the busking. Oh yes, lots of miserable, cold, wet busking. Plectrum taped to thumb when it got too cold to keep your grip ... happy days. You can never go back.

Since 2005, I've been gigging in the U.S.A (on trips in 2006 and 2007), played at various venues across Glasgow, supported Tony McPhee of The Groundhogs, and have been involved in various studio projects, including several short film soundtracks and recording in Dublin.

Recently released: 5-song EP Broke, Lonely and Guilty and 2-song single Hope It Makes You Happy. Album set for September release. Or thereabouts.

Subject matter/outlook leans towards 'dark'.

It's okay. I find the world a shitty, unforgiving place so that you don't have to.


Below, there's some video of me playing (sitting down - weird!) at Kelts, a bar in Altus, Arkansas. Great place, great people - but don't blame me for the flags ...

Thanks so much for having me along to That Devil Music on Friday past. I thought it was one of the best nights I've attended in recent months, and I've been at quite a few between Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle. I greatly admire your slide style and was pleased that I didn't do as I had intended, which was play a slide number. As the guys said, I thought Dirt were an excellent filling between the blues bookends. Somewhat grudging review from Bluesbunny; not his night , I guess. Would love to play TDM again. All the best.

Thanks for having us again.
Our ex van died a death on he M8 on the way home last night! Nightmare. Got it home at 4am on the back of a lorry!

Any truth in the rumour that the latest Gibson guitar is to be the 'Dead Paul'? I think we should be told.
