decided to go it alone playing open mike nights ect, no arguments, prima donnas, or inflated egos. Oh, you'll find plenty of those at some open mic nights! Aye i dare say i will.

Used to like Del Amitri especially there earlier albums but always thought Justin Currie was the stand out member although the rest of the band were outstanding musicians He has quite a few videos on YouTube which show off his talent as a singer/songwriter the guyz a fantastic lyricist what's your thoughts folks

Yes, do check out Frailers, a mate of mine here in Somerset dealt with them over the phone and being undecided between two he was sent both for the cost of one of them and told to just send back the one you don't want in a week or so. Mind you, they probably only did that to get him off the phone. This particular mate can be very boring.... Keith Lol will take a look Keith thanks again cheers Bob

Thanks to everyone who replied to my post i really do appreciate your feedback. Although i have dabbled Acoustically on and off for quite a few years now i have actually decided to take it a little bit more seriously....having been either a Frontman or Bassist in local cover bands since the late 70's i have got totally dissolusioned with the whole band scene and decided to go it alone playing open mike nights ect, no arguments, prima donnas, or inflated egos. So looking at maybe playing a few covers and original songs bit of Americana, Blues and some ballads but must improve drastically first lol. Thanks for the input guyz cheers Bob

Sorry - just seen you are based in Grimsby. Look at the Frailers website anyway, it might give you some ideas. Thanks guyz must admit i like the look of the Gretch Resonators i have just borrowed my mates Ozark which is a fairly cheap one but it's given me enough inspiration to purchase one.

At this present time it's got to be Jeffrey Foucault and Kelly Joe Phelps but the late great Bert Jansch and I love Bob Dylans early stuff. John Renbourne, Dougie McLean, Jackson C Frank, Jack Savoretti, Justin Currie there's so many
