CHILL-OUT GUITAR VIBES WITH DAVID CANE-HARDY David Cane-Hardy took up the guitar after the passing of singer/songwriter John Martyn and his influence is very evident in his guitar playing using echo, reverb and delay techniques. David recently worked with the renowned music producer Chris Coco and released the album ‘New Beginnings’ last October and is available on Bandcamp, Amazon Music, Spotify and Apple Music. David’s unique ambient style guitar style has received rave reviews and comments on BanBan Ton Ton blog plus Radio support from Riley & Co on BBC6Music, Ruf Dug on Soup To Nuts NTS and Alex Rudder on KEXP.
