SONGS AND WORLD MUSIC
Note that if there are a few songs then its best to have the bass
guitarist along as 4 musicians will take the performance towards
more industrial sounds and expectations.
We do rock and roll and songs from the 50’s to the 90’s, Blues
songs, Scottish and Irish folk songs, can also supply live Latin
American background music on guitar from Steve [and no doubt
we could bring Indian Sitar and such instruments along as well if
needed and negotiated.]
Here’s a short list of some of the things we do AND we can always
learn one or two new songs for a function IF they normally fall
within the male tenor vocal range.
Here is a sample of some of the songs we have looked at – it’s by
no means exhaustive or definitive.
