About roygrif
I typically review music and musical instruments but I do occasionally dabble in other topics. Musically many genres move me, those include but are not limited to 60's british invasion/mod/psych-garage/freakbeat, 60's and 70's soul/funk/disco, 70's rock, 80's new wave, 80's rock, 90's brit-pop and afro-beat.

Even though I'm only the tender age of 31, I prefer listening to music on vinyl as opposed to that nasty digital format the CD. Most audiophiles will tell you that a much higher musical resolution is achieved with a good vinyl setup.

Music I'm listening to now:

The Darkness
Fela Ransome-Kuti
Small Faces
The Venue
The Singles
Rock Four
The Clayton Squares
Shadows of Knight
The Feminine Complex
Loretta
Herbie Hancock





As far as musical instruments go, I tend to review the following brands:

Gretsch
Vox
Rickenbacker
Epiphone
Gibson
Fender

I play guitar and write songs for The Shivers (www.theshiversmusic.com) and also promote a monthly event called Mod Night (www.modnight.com). My musical inventory consists of the following:

Vox Mark III - guitar
Rickenbacker 360v64 - guitar
Rickenbacker 360/12/CW - guitar
Gretsch Tennesse Rose - guitar
Vox AC30 - amp
Fender Hotrod Deville - amp
Hohner Pianet N - electric piano
Vox Super Continental - electric organ


Side Note:

If you add me to your web of trust I will check out four or five of your reviews and if I like I will add you to my web of trust.
