Folk Rock = Drinking Music.

Hi Steve, as a matter of interest, and based on your location - are you going to the Love Supreme festival at the end of June? It looks to have a fantastic line up, very sad that I am going to miss it.

Quality Basses the Kestrel was a horrible brown thing when I got it. Re coloured and set up by Martin Sims. The Fingerbones are Fretted & Fretless pair with a radius neck.
