Close up and personal with UK cigar box punk blues legend Hollowbelly, just back from a gruelling European tour. Mr HB talks about his early career, his guitars, and his approach to music...and plays a few tunes...including a sneak preview of some tuneage from his forthcoming new album. Film by Ralph Cardall, recorded at The Godfather's bohemian 60s gaff.

Includes what must be the quote of the year...."DIY not EMI"

Great interview. The whole nature of this stuff and how it seems to evolve almost organically really comes across perfectly. Great playing too.

Fantastic vid.  Hollowbelly is the real deal, from the humble bedroom vids to touring to albums, thats what the cbg movment was meant to be.  Folks rediscovering music, and getting out, playing, recording.  Great to see you talk and hear you play HB.  Keep it up!!
