Duffy..........the bouzouki and me

.............born behind an upright piano in a council dwelling in Sundeland while both parents were out stealing coal.............duffy grew up to be a free thinking free lance bouzouki player/vocalist...............he does solo gigs but can also be seen playing within The Fabulous Duffy Gibbons with singer/songwriter Jon Gibbons...........and Tipsy Gypsy with gypsy "gadge" guitarist Gary Clark............his Maccafferi style gypsy bouzouki was made by www.baileyguitars.co.uk he does have another page at www.myspace.com/cafeorchestra and thinks Djbuddha is the main man..

Hi Duffy

Thanks for letting me come up and play - was a lovely day to be a part of.

Must apologise for never having warned you before that I get excited when on stage and have never had a safety switch between brain and mouth ;-)

Pity I couldnt catch you and Mr Gibbons on the night, but I cant wait to see you again in Spratton my man
