I'd like nothing better than to join or form a band in the Cork area, to play old & new songs from all ages.

With apologies for not thanking you guys for your recent comments. Life has been a little strange recently.

A rollicking collection of meandering musicians led by the irrepressible and irresponsible “Al the Hat”; The New Hawleans Jug band have dominated the underground Jugband blues culture in NewHaw, Surrey, for over 10 years. With their rocked-up, Jazzed-up and messed-up versions of blues, folk and country standards, no one genre could accommodate them, so they had to create their own: they are perha
ps, the finest “Jugabilly” band you’re ever likely to hear. Some of NewHaw’s most creative drinkers have shuffled in and out of Al’s group; with the present line-up consisting of: Al the Hat on Blues Harp and vocals, Ewan (the newan) on doghouse bass, Precious Pierre on Mandolin, guitar and vocals, Jim-boy on lead guitar and vocals, Cool-Hand Luke on guitar and vocals, and Washboard-Steve, on Steve’s mum’s Washboard. Listen out for their rabble rousing rendition of “Plastic Jesus”, and the delightful timbre and subtle, but complex tonality from the solo trumpet-Kazoo. You’ll want more!! 

Dan Score loves broken, horrible, distorted nonsense. Max Williams loves beautiful, pretty, loveliness. Between the two halves of my mind I manage to make music.

I also have a weekly radio show, wednesdays at 9:30pm on freezepeach.co.uk
