Please visit these following links to groups and organisations connected with me and/or my music. Links will be added and updated regularly. If you have a site that could be added here, or know of one, CONTACT US with your suggestions.
ADRIAN BYRON BURNS; GROOVEMEISTER
Adrian Burns is a world class funky bluesy singer and guitarist. I well put my foot in it when I bumped into him at the bar whilst we were gigging at the same venue, and I stupidly asked him what he did as a day job. Feel my embarassment: He's opened for Neil Young, was in Jimmy James & The Vagabonds for a while, shared the stage with B.B.King, Bill Wyman, the Dubliners and was Acoustic Artist Of The Year 1999 and 2000. I think it's fair to say that he's a professional ... nevertheless, he still says he likes my songs! So now, completely humbled, I present his website ...
THE BRIAN TALBOT SOUND
The Myspace page of the Greatest Rock'n'roll Band In The World, the Brian Talbot Sound. It features band background and biographies and some little known facts as well as a survey and a great mug shot of the duo.
BUNKERS HILL
The Myspace page of my brother Jonny, which includes his blog and a place where you can learn much about his musical tastes and insights, and read a great diatribe on his least favourite estate agent.
CACTUS DOUG
My own Myspace page. It contains my blog and features an interactive fridge that you can visit and leave me messages on, as well as quizzes, non-music related photos and and a picture of me you can draw all over if you're feeling abusive.
CACTUS DOUG's GREEN MAN RADIO
Yes, it's our very own Launchcast Radio Station. I'ts not bad nowadays; before I'd uploaded enough preferences it was irritating me with Alanis Morisette and various others.It will continue to improve as time goes on. There's the odd naff song and/or advert, but it keeps it free. If you want an inkling of the types of music it plays whilst you're browsing the net, check out my "Influences Page" using the link to the left of the page.
CD STREET
CD Street is an internet-based store where CDs from hundreds of artists, signed and unsigned alike, can be purchased online. 'Sacred Water' is available here for credit card purchasers in the US and internationally, and I also have a 'mini' site here.
THE DAILY GRAIL
The Daily Grail is a news site dedicated to fortean and alternative news, bringing daily updates in the world of philosophy, religion, science and the paranormal. It is also the home to a number of blogs, including one of my own. Its blogs are populated by a wide range of contributors ranging from the academic to the lay philosopher, from the folklorist to the occasional loony. But it's always informative and entertaining.
DESCENDANTS OF CAIN
A really rather good Soho-based Goth band whose studio I used to record 'Sacred Water'. Nice light show, ornate helmets, and a bunch of all round top people. Furthermore, I hear they've recently signed a contract that could see them with a European Tour as early as next year - so visit their site, and then you can say you knew them before they were famous!!
EL CLAN: MOTORCYCLE CLUB OF CHIHUAHUA
Yes, your spectacles are working! This is indeed the bikers' club of Chihuahua. El Clan's membership stretches all the way up to Canada (which I would imagine is a pretty long ride even on a Harley). I have a friend who is a biker in this club, so why not take a few minutes to sign their Guest Book.
EL PASO SOUND PROJECT
EPSP is the work of a German friend, Klaus. He produces trancy-music which sounds like up-tempo Tangerine Dream with a dance beat. If you're into trance/dance (I'm not usually, but I like this stuff - and I bought his first CD before I became a friend, if you're wondering), I can recommend it.
FOLK & ROOTS
Folk & Roots is a hugely comprehensive database of folk & roots bands, gigs, record labels and information. As well as finding a link to Green Man Music here, you can also find links to the official sites of some of my own favourite folk & roots artists such as The Men They Couldn't Hang, the Levellers, Capercaille and so on. an eclectic mix of music from the traditional to the experimental, world, and singer-songwriter genres of acoustic music.
FOLKING
An online all-genres folk music community featuring album and gig reviews, MP3s, artist interviews and a large database of links to artist home pages.
GOOD AFTERNOON, EAST STAND
The myspace site of my borther Tim, recently making his own contribution to the Myspace craze with a specific and exhaustive list of general interests, plus some outstanding giraffe photography.
GUITAR TIPS, TABS & LINKS
A useful site which contains a number of links to various music sites, plus plenty of tabulation for songs of the "old favourites" genre, very helpful for the beginner. (Says me, who can't even read Tab). Best viewed with your pop-up blocker on.
HULL PAGANS
Interactive forum, support and news for those involved in the Pagan community in Hull. It's a membership group so you'll need to sign up to access the information, but it's free, and it's friendly.
KARL CULLEY
Karl Culley is an unusual and excellent guitarist currently on the acoustic and folk scenes in Yorkshire, check out his site and have a listen to some of his original superfast guitar playing.
