RUM CURRENCY-Demo

(Thanks to Anonymous for the shout-out)

"After being marooned in Melbourne for three years and recording two projects called Blaggard, I moved back to Cairns. Given that I didn't want the project to be confused with the Blaggards or another Australian band called Blaggard, it was an obvious choice to abandon the name, so I took up Rum Currency.

I am the sole member of Rum Currency and I haven't played live since 1992 at the National Folk Festival in Canberra. However, if you live in the Far North and are interested in getting something happening, drop me a line!

I've played in a few punk and hardcore bands, a folk band called the Born Again Pagans, and was a member of Catgut Mary for about one week.

The instruments I play on the recordings:

- guitar and bass
- mandolin
- banjo
- tin whistle
- bodhran
- harmonica
- gitzuki [home made bazooki from a 12 string gtr]

The instruments I don't play on recordings:

- squeeze box
- drums

I am also planning on making a hurdy gurdy, which should prove interesting, if it works.

Everything is recorded in my spare bedroom. In fact, I didn't pick up an instrument for almost ten years, until I thought learning to home record might be fun. Like most of my instruments, my sound card and mikes are fairly cheap. "
