I
am a musician and collector of musical instruments.
Love all sorts of
music but mainly folky things...fiddle tunes. Keen on Jazzy swingy music
from Ragtime to the Swing era and 50s Rock-n-roll. Love jiving various
styles from Lindy Hop to R-n-R. .....Morris dancer since younger age (real ale
helps !) To help with the dance and music scene to keep in period classic
transport is important to wisk around to the various venues...Jaguar,
Alvis, MG, bubble car that sort of thing. Narrowboats and exploring Englih canals are a bit of a passion. Play fiddle, banjo, guitar and
wierd things like Swedish nyckelharpa...... Age....mental age about 16,
body age middling ish. Play with the Springer Sisters
band. I am said to
be terminally flippant....What me ...never.

Who I'd like to meet: Want to play a fiddle jig with Status Quo.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
