Delta Echoes[Blues, Duo]
|
Delta Echoes (www.deltaechoes.co.uk) are a duo who re-create the country blues, hokum and gospel music of the 1920s and 30s, played on Gibson acoustic and National steel guitars (most of them older than their players!), harmonica and kazoo. They are: Richard Scruton, well-known on the local folk and blues scene and an authentic interpreter of the guitar picking of the great Delta bluesmen, and Stuart Cumberpatch, who has been playing lap style and bottleneck blues on vintage National guitars for the last 20 years - ten of them with the legendary Kennet Sheiks. The duo occasionally expands to a trio or quartet with added double bass and harmonica. Stuart also plays in National Steel, a duo with Lewis Cohen, also listed on Lemonrock, as well as giving tuition in the black arts of slide guitar and lap-steel guitar.
