THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT RAGTIME EWAN XXXXXXXXXXXX Now for the bio..... I started playing fingerstyle guitar after fallin hook line and sinker for the dulcet sounds of the rural blues-that was about 4 years ago.Prior to that i was in a punk band called Kick It Til It Breaks back in Brighton but got kicked out for doin coke too much before makin a livin busking as a folksinger durin a spell of homelessness.Happy days eh? anyhoo...all that culminated in me movin to Herefordshire which i love very much indeed!Big up the sticks! After extensive study and adaptation of the old timey music including ragtime,dancehall music of the 20's and 30,s as well as religious blues,appalachain mountain tunes and minstrel music,i started to write the music i play now. By using a mish mash of genres as well as original and traditional melodies and lyrics my aim is to offer a modern take on the songster traditions and ethos of street singers from America's southern states in a package that you folks may enjoy!! big love RAGTIME EWAN VIDEOS THANKS TO MUZO RECORDS AND JOHN AT LEDBURY PORTAL!!CHEERS
