Influences

Well known people include Martin Simpson, Martin Carthy, Jorma Kaukonen, Robb Johnson, Bert Lloyd, Pete Atkin, Missisipi Fred MacDowell, Jeff Davis , Jimmy Page, Nic Jones, Derek Brimstone and countless others.

The great thing about the folk scene is that you get to meet so many tremendous musicians and singers who are a match for anyone in the world and yet are hardly known outside the scene.

These people are the most important influence on my music.

About Russ Chandler

I've been playing guitar since I was fifteen.

In my twenties I played electric guitar in bands but I always enjoyed folk music and playing acoustic guitar.

After taking a couple of years off for some important drinking I started playing fingerstyle guitar again seriously in my early thirties and became involved in the London and Essex traditional music scene.

I also sing, play Banjo and a bit of Hammered Dulcimer.

I help organise the Walthamstow Folk club

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Jun 4 2009 5:12 PM (Hi: enjoyed my visit.) After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003
