First there was folk...then there was blues (which is African folk but let's not get bogged down)...then there was jazz...then rock'n'roll...it all went sideways after that so thank God for Black Napkins....it's jazz, without the hard bits, folk without the twiddly bits, rock'n'roll without the ego. That's right, you heard right....
Band/artist history
Ellis Davies (guitar/bass/jazz chords) met Rioghnach Connolly (vocals/songwriting/sever beatings) 4 years ago and started playing basic stuff like "House of the Rising Sun" and some Air songs. Then they realised when they did that at open mics people were't interested, so they wrote some songs with difficult chords and made them pretty, and people dug it. Sometimes they danced, sometimes they offered narcotics. Brilliant.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes, Manchester still doesn't know what hit it. It's aaaaaaaaaaall been very good, especially our dalliance with Ernie's Rhythm Section, Manchester's finest rhythm and blues protagonists.
Your musical influences
How long have you got? It's acoustic, it's jazzy, it's folky, it's bluesy. Influences are ridiculkously varied...I'll think of some good ones and update later.
What equipment do you use?
I'm got some old Seagull Acoustic, it's had the stuffin knocked out of it but it sounds good and plays well.
