I’ve been playing guitar and singing for quite a while now and a couple of people have kindly said i’m ok at it.

Hello – I need to be getting myself a new geetar soon, most likely a 12-string electro-acoustic. I’ve been to the obvious places: Denmark Street, The House of Guitars for example but I know there are more shops out there. I know because I’ve seen them. I just can’t remember where they are. ...

I bought my bloke an acoustic guitar, and he was all enthusiastic for a while as a friend of ours was giving him lessons and keeping him at it. Now that friend has (understandably) decided he’s not mad on trogging up to Kilburn on a school night to teach guitar I am being twanged at less and less. While I&#...

I’ve been bugging my parents for ages to help me pay for a new computer (mine is shit, in case you hadn’t realised by the multiple posts about it crashing all the time from PREVIEW BOX). I’d just about managed to persuade them to stick a desposit down on one for my birthday. So imagine my surpri...

I tried this on gumtree and was deluged with lots of emails from people who didn’t even listen to what I play and bands making frankly ridiculous demands of technique, time and money. Much as I’d love to spend four days rehearsing each week I have a full time job and friends and many other interests so ...

Yes, a bit random, I know. I will explain. My best best friend is arriving in London on Monday. He’s in a ROCK!band back home, (shameless plug: www.myspace.com/veryemergencymusic) and he’s distraught over being without his guitar for two weeks. He needs to keep up his songwriting skillz eve...

I have an air guitar if anyone wants it. Rarely used. Needs tuning. Free, but you have to collect it. May be of use to dire Straight Fans, sorry no headband.

Look out for Loaker

Posted 4 months ago 2 responses

Sam Loaker looks set to be the most exciting thing to come out of Norwich since Colman’s mustard.

He’s young – 19 – tall, a bit gangly, and plays the guitar like someone with 12 talented fingers and has a decent voice to boot. The bastard.

He describes his style as somewhere ‘between straight up acoustic folk and the urban troubadour’ and while that sounds like a pile of poop, he’s good, dammit.

His songs are quirky, sweet, short and catchy. Ruddy marvellous.
