Commented on: John Barleycorn

I am a singer/songwriter living in Sydney, Australia and I write, record and produce my music in my own home studio. The genre of my songs I guess would be called alternative but with a traditional base influence coming from rural blues, folk and country. Most of my songs are acoustic in nature and I play all the instruments myself, including guitars, keys, banjo, mandolin and blues harp. Lyrical content of my songs vary between quasi-political, social commentary and of course the inevitable love songs. In earlier years I worked as a full time gigging/touring musician and also as a session musician in various studios in the UK and Australia. During this time I was fortunate enough to work with some quite well known artistes; some of whom did not know a semi-quaver from a semi-trailer but were good musicians non the less.
