Phil Taylor ... the instrument? Or the Symbol? The instrument is one of Dave's Paithi Peadar Guitar/Bouzoukis whilst the symbol is the astrological sign for 'Leo'

Ahhh now I see There was an Australian chappie in Cara Dillon's backing band when we saw them at the Great British Folk Festival and he played one of these, a Sobell I believe and it was really great stuff. Cheers Phil |

And, (spoiler alert!) watch out for a Meet the Maker interview I'll be doing with Dave sometime in the coming months.... Keith I'm working through it when I get the time, very glad to see British guitar makers (and other stringed instruments) doing such lovely work. Looking forward to the interview, I'm also working through those. Planning on putting aside some money each month for my daughters first "proper" guitar (in case she's a lefty and can't play mine, or just wants something different). Long way to go but that means a long time to save... |
