Six Hands in Tempo were & are Al Harris, Steve Bailey and Dave Proctor, playing songs from the 20s and 30s, together with such immortal creations as the Western Medley and Songs from Science Fiction TV Programmes.
Six Hands also performed the occasional folk song and tune, plus a few rearranged pop songs, including an ‘unplugged’ Layla well before Mr Clapton
Amazingly, with a repertoire like that, Six Hands played at Folk Clubs and Festivals all over the UK and in Europe and Canada, appeared on radio and TV, and made three albums. They also played at some spectacularly unsuitable venues, the true stories of which will be told in the fullness of time…
3 guitars and 3 voices was the norm but occasionally used were melodeon, banjo, concertina, lap steel and the famous bank of 3 monophonic Casiotone VL-1s which made some bizarre noises
Six Hands still get the occasional radio play all over the place (e.g. Deutschland radio Kultur! )
After a gap of nearly 20 years, Six Hands were brave enough to perform a one-off reunion spot at the Gate to Southwell Folk Festival in June 07. Having realised that they can still “do it”, Six Hands have now decided to do a number of reunion gigs.
