Recently I've started playing with a small acoustic group - still in the raw early stages. But here's a short video of us p...

edit: re woolen *garments* - they actually don't get cleaned as much as you'd think either.

Thanks for sharing them! feel free to add your own, you don't need to be in kit, you just need to be on an awesome adventure, and I'd love to see photo's of those beautiful mountains you speak of in your introduction t...
