UPDATE: Due to adverse weather conditions Lee & Billy won’t be appearing on Monday’s show. Instead I’ll play some tracks from their CD and will rearrange a date in the next month or so.
On next week’s show (Monday night, 7-9pm UK, Bishopfm.com) I’ll be joined by Lee Bates and Billy Newton, a guitar and blues harp duo. They sent me their CD and it is great. Tune in for a treat!

My friend and bandmate David has just got one of these – it has real drum snares in the top left hand corner (as we look at it.) The player sits on it and can then use hands to get a fair representation of bass drum, snare and other percussion sounds. There’s a soundhole in the back. Very handy for acoustic sessions – I’m sure we’ll be hearing it at some Tri gigs.
The cajon was handmade by musician Dave Tighe who has a webpage here and a myspace here. Some nice music to listen to.
“a new web site to help touring bands find recommended places to eat,
hang out and crash for the night while out on the road. It’s also a way
for musicians to find venues to perform… and even offers a free link to
the band’s sound clips, photos and web sites which helps generate
exposure for their music!”
A great look at where the valves and pedals come from
