An improvised one chord wonder to show off my newly finished CBG

Pistol Pete Wearn - Cigar Box Stomp

My take on the traditional 'Hard Luck and Trouble'. Actually just a first play to try and find my way around my new Tascam portable multi-track.  All done with the internal mics.

As I was mucking about looking for a capo during a gig, Mr Parkes started to improvise and I joined in as best I could!

Our cover of the Bo Diddley classic 'Who do you Love', with a bonus bit of MS Fife & Drum tucked in the middle somewhere.  A slightly poor quality board feed from our set at the Nantwich Jazz Festival, but I hoped it might be of interest :)

Let Me Play With Your Poodle Live on Stafford Radio 04-02-15

Just a quick little thing to demo a guitar I got for £5 in a charity shop.  I'm afraid my vocals aren't up to much this morning...

Write me a few lines - Pistol Pete Wearn

.44 Pistol are a young, high energy electric blues band. Slide guitar driven, stripped back & dirty, they bring together the laid back country blues of artists such as Mississippi Fred McDowell with the raw electric sound of contemporary bands like the White Stripes. Up-tempo, rough & ready this is music to drink, dance and stomp your feet along to. The band play a mix of originals, re-written old blues songs and known covers

Although based in Stafford, since forming in 2008 they’ve clocked up around 10,000 miles, honing their style at pubs, clubs and festivals across the country & proving just how much gear it’s possible to fit into a Ford Fiesta. The band have received radio play on local stations from Essex to the Peak District, been reviewed by Blues in Britain & reached fans as far away as France and Poland. All of which they have managed without a bass player.
