Band/artist history
Settling in Scotland in the 1970s, he was known as Almost Blind Boy Banovich by his contemporaries in Glasgow. Says it all really!! The Guitar has taken him on an amazing musical journey through many styles of playing - from blues to bluegrass - from traditional celtic folk to swing and back again - but he somehow manages to combine all this musical diversity into a sound which is unique, particularly in his own original songs and instrumentals. He says hes on a voyage of self discovery - but we hear a man who has made music his life, the bluesman, the guitarst, the traveller, in other words, we hear him. Dik has toured extensively in Britain, Europe, Scandinavia, the States and West Africa. He has played clubs, folk clubs, art centres, pubs, and concerts in all imaginable ( and unimaginable! ) venues both at home and abroad.
He has numerous TV and radio appearances under his belt as well as playing major festivals such as the Glasgow Folk Festival, Glasgow International Jazz Festival, Edinburgh Blues Festival, Edinburgh Folk Festival, The Edinburgh Festival, The Arran Blues Festival, The Arran Folk Festival, The Aberdeen Alternative Festival, Rootin Aboot Aberdeen, Carrbridge Folk Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival ( Club Tent with Spider Mackenzie), Dumfermline Jazz Festival, Forres Folk Festival, Ballahulish Folk Festival, Louisburg Folk Festival NC.USA, Tonder Folk Festival Denmark, and more recently since moving to Devon,Tapely Park, Arlington Festival ( with Wes Bird & Tony Prince as Beatha ), Barnstaple Jazz Festival, The Polperro Arts Festival 2000 / 2001, The Wiviliscombe Music Festival (West Fest), Appeldore Arts Festival, and Malborough Festival of Music & Arts 2001, Big Wheel Blues Festival - Isle of Man 2002.
