Being so young I'd had no real interest in music prior to that, but I did have a ‘My First Sony’ cassette player that I used to listen to audiobooks. Anyway, I put the tape in, pressed play, and what I heard blew my little 8 year old mind. I don't know what it was about that wall of sound that so captured me, but I spent many hours hyperactively running around the house with headphones on, volume at full blast, and Nevermind on repeat. It was either for Christmas or my birthday that year, that I asked for a guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI spent all my teenage years playing either guitar or drums in various punk and rock outfits around the Welsh valleys, but around that time I was also getting seriously into older stuff, Dylan, The Velvet Underground and the like. Through those cheap compilation CDs you could get then, I found that a common influence amongst these guys was pre-war delta and country blues, as well as Appalachian music. Eventually I stumbled upon Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James and Roscoe Holcomb, and they became the holy trinity of musicians I so wanted to able to play like. Eventually, I tracked down a blues man in Cardiff who could teach me and it was in studying these guys that I was introduced to John Fahey and the whole American Primitive thing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"We Are Busy Bodies","offers":[{"title":"BLACK LP","offer_id":56970986684796,"sku":"HJM-10843","price":31.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9022\/0535\/files\/369_20260618_1010_091320_249_p_download_20260618091107_2_005.jpg?v=1781798884","url":"https:\/\/heyjoemusic.co.uk\/products\/raymond-gwenifer-you-were-never-much-of-a-dancer","provider":"Hey Joe Music \u0026 Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
