Loughborough Musicians

A number of (some ex-) Loughborough people I know have put their music on the web – maybe you will recognise some of these names.

Steel String, regulars on the Dorset folk scene are former Loughburians Sarah and Phil Muir, plus one of their Dorset mates. Sarah’s brother Simon Faulks, vocalist and guitarist, has been playing the blues locally for as long as I can remember. I had a good bop to the songs on his myspace site…

Stuart Wood, percussionist (and now author of Friendship is a Verb) has not only put together a site with loads of hints and tips for drummers, but that also has some great samples from his album Soundscapes.

Then for a chillout, there is the acoustic guitar folk of (still-resident-in Loughborough) Ben Heap from the Well Church, or my colleague Gerry’s band Northern Quarter, who you may have heard play at the 3 Nuns or the Valkyries.
