Dave Carr's Fabulous Contraption
Hey all,
Firstly, a huge thankyou to everyone for supporting Dave Carr's Fabulous Contraption over the past three years. It's been great to have you along for the ride.
The band is currently on hiatus - I've had to take a break from playing due to a playing-related injury. I mentioned in the previous email that there had been some RSI issues in the past, and this sprung up again last year. I've come to realise that I need to relearn how to play so that the injuries don't happen anymore, and I'm studying the Alexander Technique full-time at SAT as a means of re-educating myself. The technique is fascinating and inspiring, and it's great to have found a pathway to get me back playing without issues again…
We've had to say goodbye to Adam Bodkin, who played bass with us for one year. It was awesome playing with such a great musician and such a great guy. We'll miss you Boddo. Check out a few photos from that year on Facebook - (expired link)

Thanks again,

About Dave Carr's Fabulous Contraption
At times moody and introspective, at others unveiling a heaviness not usually encountered in acoustic music, the Fabulous Contraption combine folk and prog rock. (expired link) At times moody and introspective, at others unveiling a heaviness not usually encountered in acoustic music, the Fabulous Contraption explore the forces of good and evil in the world of instrumental folk music.
The Fabulous Contraption combine a wide array of influences, including
Contemporary and traditional folk styles from across Europe, bluegrass and rock. You’ll hear intricate guitar work, marry-your-sister banjo, soaring violin melodies, and a sensitive but hard-grooving rhythm section. Like drifting calmly down a river only to find yourself in the midst of a crocodile infestation, the music moves between extremes: from trancelike calm to dancing-on-the-tables lunacy.
