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"

Well, thank him for us.

 

BTW, I'm considering a trip to the UK next year, just for a me, a few days, to hit either Folkestone or Sidcup if those are on again in 2013. Would love to meet you, jam, maybe buy a git?
