Acoustic Soup

One of the bands I play with on a semi-regular basis is Acoustic Soup, which consists of me on guitar and vocals, my brother Arthur on mandolin, dobro and vocals, my son Nils on bass guitar (and a few vocals here & there!) and my good friend Carl Warner on percussion.

We don’t play gigs very often, maybe once every couple of months or so, but when we do it’s usually at a venue in Tunbridge Wells called the Grey Lady, on an evening run by local musician and promoter Paul Dunton.

The man who used to take care of all the sound engineering at these gigs was until recently a lovely bloke and hugely talented musician called Ollie Nicholls. Tragically however, he was killed in a road accident in the early hours of 30th March 2008.

Ollie’s sudden death had a profound impact on all who knew him.

This song, Sleep Softly, was written by Arthur in his memory.
