Recording is over bar some small additions. The warehouse near Helsinki which was the scene of activities for Guy's debut solo album is home no more. Global vagabond music at it's afreg desert swamp hoprock old time midnight ramble best.
Born on the southern tip of Africa, Guy has been playing guitar for almost 25 years. His interest really took off when he was 15 on a warm day. The long distance sounds from somewhere in the American south of Howlin' Wolf on Highway 49 beamed into the living room. Subsequently, Guy has become interested in all roots and folk musics and the connection to the soul experiences to which music connects every human being. While rock and blues music has played a big part in his musical education, he has developed an interest in all improvised music, especially the aspect of making music with people who do not consider themselves musicians. Are we all able to tap into the music behind the world?
Guy recorded and toured with Billygoat for three years in the 1990's and has performed and recorded with South African bands Afrikaans rocker Valiant Swart, world music band Starkravingsane, afro-rock outfit Hot Water as well as performances with his own Mississippi style hillcountry blues band the Mudd Bruthas and later the acoustic duo the Mudd Family, as well as appearances with Delta Blue, LA hip-hopper Matre & the 360 allstars and more recently shows with a global collective Guy Collins & the Global Vagabonds.
