The music...is made live. We use old equipment covered in dirt. We think that the dirt helps the sound. We make music the traditional way; in one room standing around old valve microphones. We are influenced by the Country Blues finger picking artist, Mississippi John Hurt. We are also heavily influenced by the late 40s Bluegrass sounds of the Stanley Brothers and Flatt & Scruggs. Derwent Dave (Hancock) and Slim Pickin's (Mark Kennedy) have been playing music together since they were nearly boys. Ol' Tone (Tony Libregts) joined the band some years back.
