I'm in Euxton, Lancashire and I'm itching to make some dirty blues with anyone who fancies it?

I can travel around the county and I've got decent enough recording facilities at home if anything comes of it.

I'm a mosher at heart, and I was thinking of a style that's say a more noisy SS Steve / Down but whilst using CBG's and Diddleys and having really mellow clean parts. Of course I'm more than open to other influences anyone can bring in.

I did a video a while back here with a track to go with it. Just a basic track that was done with a piezo CBG but you get the idea.

Fancy?

 Hi Rob. if you can get down to to LIVERPOOL i'm up for a jam!

regards Herringbone John  ps doing a tune at Liverpool Southparkway here!

Sounds like a great idea Rob, although I currently have very little free time...

Although you've inspired me to add Stone the Crow to my 3 string repertoire!

Way down south and can't play a note! - but hey, I loved the noises you're making on the vid fella. Good luck with the open jam and post whatever comes of it.

Hi Rob

I'm a bit of a newbie but always willin to learn and have a go I''m near Macclesfield and can travel a few miles pretty much any time so keep me in the loop.

cheers john

Hi Rob

Do you play any gigs with the cbg around here.I,m in Lostock hall ,still new to the job ,.Like to see how the pro,s play them .

Thanks Chris

Hi Rob, trying to contact you. Sent you a message via your website about a week ago. I'm in Formby, just down the road from you. Just sent you a "Friend" request so I can send you a message via CBN.

Colin (Grateful Fred).

Vid sounds cool Rob, if any of you are going to Boxstock in Leicester next month as far as i know some of the day has been given over for open mic live playing, good opportunity to get a jam going there!

...CBG's only, of course! (-; 

Hi guys, sorry for the slow reply. 

Chris, I've never gigged with Cbg's although I've been in several bands in my past playing Thrash. If you can play, get in touch mate :) 

I'm no expert but i'm one of those players that can 'play round' other musicians and I'm one to 'get stuck in'.

Fred, I've got your email re-directed to me from my website but i don't know how to reply on it yet (new site/ no idea how to update it yet, and I'm waiting for a reply from the developer to let me know how it works...) Please PM me on here!

John, Mac's a bit far from me matey, unless you know somehere we can hire / gatecrash somewhere in between?

Steve,  when's Boxstock?

Anyone else, Liverpool / Formby / Lancs areas are good for me! Get in touch via Pm with dates free and whatnot. I'm stupidly busy at the moment building for some up-coming guitar shows, but I'm more than happy to travel a bit one evening.

Cheers all!

Let me know if you're gonna get together with anyone Rob, only round the corner so I'll tag along for the ride. Still only building ukes but I can do a bit of blues on 'em! Be interesting to see what comes from it!

Hi Rob, are you building cigarbox ukes?

Colin

No Ukes as yet, it's on my to-do list when I get time.

;)

 Fingers, Will do.

I might be up for something if this comes off. Not played anything seriously for years though. Was in a band years ago, but only started playing again a couple of years ago. Based in Burnley, but can travel. Currently have 6 and 4 string CBG's and a cajon
