Current bands

People keep asking me "how many bands are you in at the moment?" and I'm never quite sure of the answer, so here's my best guess:

1) I'm playing bass guitar with surf'n'soul'n'rock'n'roll combo The Dustaphonics



2) I'm playing electric guitar with pre-decimal R'n'B combo Clarabella & The Cryptkicker V





3) I'm playing acoustic guitar, bouzouki and warbling with train-death-blues-country-folk trio The Red Star Thistles (2 measures of Gumpf + a dash of Evil Jack McDeath = a Red Star Thistle) 








4) I'm playing ukulele with, err, uke duo/trio The Richwoods






5) I'm playing electric guitar with instro-cine-noir trio The DC3


6) Although on hiatus whilst Geofftheaccordionist is living in China, whenever we're in the same hemisphere I'm playing acoustic guitar and mandolin in 500mph East European folk duo The Flaming Czars



In theory, The Charles Napiers are going to do something again soon after a 7 year layoff. Watch this space...

(not the line-up that'll be doing something, but one of my fave live snaps)

And if that's not enough, I occasionally do solo stuff, either as Evil Jack McDeath (guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, ukulele), The Earl of Monte Cristo (cigar box guitar) or just plain ol' Dan Whaley (like, whatever)
