Tastes range from classical to punk (both UK first-wave and US second-wave) to blues, rockabilly and a big love for flamenco guitar. Guilty (well, deeply unfashionable) pleasures include Gong, Conway Twitty and Shonen Knife - from genres I don't much care for, but these artists always top my most-played counts on Spotify.
Do you like Psychoabilly as well Stuart ? Given the other mixture it would seem possible. The Stray Cats have just released a new album if you are interested. I watched them some time ago and for three people on stage it was quite incredible.
Yes! I do like some of the less silly psychobilly bands. I used to see the Meteors quite regularly at the Lyceum Ballroom, making up the bill on the early '80s Punk nights - four bands for £5. Paul Fenech is a more accomplished guitarist than their typical 'stomp' songs would suggest. Also a fan of Brian Setzer's guitar playing, so will check out the new Stray Cats album.
Ps - I'm just trying to learn to play guitar properly - the Meteors' version of 'li'l red riding hood' was the first song I tried - it's been three weeks now and it's getting close... If I listen to Setzer, I might just give up trying to play at all.
