Good Afternoon.
Iâm an unskilled mandolin and guitar player and music enthusiast based in the dank and flat East of England.
Music wise itâs generally guitar based slightly out of date indie for me. Iâve not really moved on since obsessing about The Wedding Present, The Pixies and The Fall at university. Recent releases that have caught my fancy have come from The Cribs and Decoration.
I have an dangerous folk leaning on occasions, and love the punky folk outpourings of The Ukrainians.
Wondering if there would be any interest in a âcover versionâ challenge amongst the other musicians on the forum, maybe pick a song a month and see what everyone can come up with?

Hi and welcome to MD! I guess that although you come from the flat East of England you don't quite come from as flat a land as I live in!
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it

Welcome to our home.
Thanks a lot.
Now I got that stupid song in my head.
Elton John, You're So Static.
I like the horns at the end, but that's about it.
Gotta listen to something else now.
Aha, some ELO handy.

Ha - I'm sure that's true.
Where are you based? I'm a big fan of Leiden, I drive to Germany a few time a year and often stop there (theoretically for a break but really becasue it's a good place to eat and drink)
Saw my beloved Wedding Present in Amsterdam - must have been back in 2004 when their come back was in its infancy.
On the Dutch theme I've seen Persil as support act a few times. Their latest track is toss in my opinion but I like the first album. I think that's the only Ducth band I've seen (never saw Van Halen

Yup - very much stuck in the past. I'll be looking for recommendations in the same vein.

Hi Static1812
I live right in the bottom of the Netherlands just 25 km north of Maastricht.
We enjoy a really European lifestyle here , I border Germany and so I am near to Aachen and also I live right on the boarders of Belgium.
The Netherlands has a strong musical tradition and is blessed.......One of Europe's biggest outdoor pop festivals is sighted just down the road from me. It is Pinkpop
and as such I get a great opportunity to see plenty of live acts
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
