Coming of age in the music-scene of late seventies/early eighties London, Geoffrey Armes retains the independent spirit of that era to this day.

"I write about whatever music intrigues me (primarily blues, folk and
bluegrass). Grew up as a metal-head, even did a metal zine for a few

described as "American" or "roots" music. Whether it be folk,
bluegrass, blues, etc...I will probably be interested."

so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real.
