Ian's Blurbs

About me:
Until recently, I ran 'Roadworks' - a live music night in Altrincham, Cheshire featuring the best in Acoustic/Roots/Folk/Blues and Americana. Sadly, work commitments and falling attendences have forced me to suspend things until further notice. I am NOT booking any acts currently, but you are welcome to send a 'Friend' request and I'll gladly have a listen to your stuff. Thanks to all who played during my tenure and to those who came out to see some quality live music.

Who I'd like to meet:
People who love music for the talent and hard work that's gone into it - not the haircuts. Anyone who thinks X Factor et al are the spawn of the devil.

hedge	Apr 23 2008 1:48 AM Hedge presents the legendary Peter Walker with support from John Fairhurst and Olivia Moore Friday 25th April, 8pm St Margarets Church, Whalley Range, Manchester, M16 8AE Finally touring again after nearly 40 years of quietly working damn hard on his playing, Peter Walker comes to Manchester. Truly a Godfather psyche raga flamenco and folk. He studied with Ravi Shankar and Ali Akhbar Khan, travelled to Franco era Spain to study flamenco and jam with the gypsies and was at the heart of the San Fran acoustic scene. Don’t for a minute let your mind wander to the watered down come-backs of some of his contemporaries; Peter has just matured and improved, developing his passion for flamenco. A rare opportunity this is, to encounter a player of Peter's influence and excellence. In support are two local musicians, descendants in a musical family tree. John Fairhurst has travelled extensively with his guitar, playing everywhere and anywhere with allsorts of people. A heavy Raga influence, with elements of gypsy jazz, a big spoonful of blues and psyche folk. Olivia Moore, a truly gifted violinist, has herself travelled to India on numerous occasions to study. After many years playing classical violin, she delved into the worlds of jazz, flamenco, Cuban music and improvisation. Awesome! Read Peter’s story Tickets available from Piccadilly Records, John Fairhurst and wegottickets
