About Me |
|
| I've been wrestling with guitars since I was 10, when I used to record my efforts on an old portable tape recorder so that I could then harmonise with myself...a year later I discovered the joy of reverb in the stairwell of our old block of flats in Jo'burg. It's only taken a brief hiatus of 20-something years for me to pick my guitar back up and marry the two when I was given my multitrack. Although it's not sophisticated enough to boost the bass or twiddle the treble, it does allow me to harmonise with myself, add a bit of reverb and send it to the PC to convert to MP3... so a slightly more 'hi-tech' version of the tape recorder and singing in that stairwell! Finding like-minded singing sisters involved converting the Wednesday Soup Sessions into the Cocky Magpies, which fledged to form Elowen in August '06 - you can find us at: http://www.myspace.com/elowenfolk I've also joined forces with the Amber Folk Mill this year - watch this space: The Amber Folk Mill I've been known to sing up at the Earl of Chatham pub, Lostwithiel at the weekly come-all-ye 'folk jam'. There I try out my solo material - some of which is here. *************************************** While I'm here, cheers to my brother David, for the Langlaagte Stoep Sessions when I was 12, where he introduced me to Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Hendrix and The Beatles....(not literally, of course, how mad would that have been?) |
