D R Fencer
I played pro guitar from the mid 60's to the mid 90's and was with a number of different genre bands. I was a founder member of a blues band called Black Leb (voted best blues band in North London at the London Blues Fest in '69). I also had two bands formed by myself, Liquid & Sufi around that time, both three piece blues/rock bands. I later joined a five piece Chicago Rock band called BBA. When that band split I joined up with Spunky Spider for a while. I eventually went solo and sessioned around North London at the same time embarked on a new venture in Electronic Music composing short 2 minute ditties for whom ever needed them. I started playing guitar again around 2000'ish after a long long break and now just enjoy what I am doing. My main love has always been electric and acoustic blues but I will try my hand at almost anything so long as it has good musical content and integrity.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not for a long time, the biggest audience for me these days would be 4 or 5 friends. I do miss the live gigging sometimes though.

Anything else?
The tunes and musical ideas that I present here are pretty much as it happens. What you hears is what you gets, warts and all.
I try to keep things light, not to much of the 'Deep' and 'Broody' stuff. But, always maintaining my respect for the genre and fellow artists.
I hope that you all get something positive from my efforts. So pull up a chair, kick off those boots, chill and enjoy.
