about
In a small white room with a blue door tucked away in a leafy corner of Hackney, Robin makes music.
Inspired by the timeless work of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Ani Difranco amongst many others, he colours in his songs about love and life with guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, piano, double bass, organ, percussion toys and any other instruments he can afford and fit into his little studio.
His music has been described as ‘gently experimental nu-folk’ and compared to Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Richard Thompson and Harry Chaplin – he is a bit distressed by the misspelling of the word ‘new’ but doesn’t let it distract him from the serious business of recording, performing, and acquiring new and unusual instruments.
Robin has released two albums ‘Only The Missile‘ and ‘Strangers With Shoes‘ on creative commons label ‘modifythevan‘, both receiving excellent reviews in the blogsphere. He is very lucky to have recently acquired a superb backing group and is currently discovering the joys and frustrations of having his own band.
The band
Joe Allen (drums and percussion)
Iain Macleod (banjo and guitar)
Amy Bowles (bass and guitar)
barbara bartz (violin and accordion)
Ben Oliver (keys)
