Mike Dawes is. Makes them sound incredible.



And here's one just for you, Jeremy.

Seriously though folks, he worked at the then Mainline Music(Takapuna) for a few years back in the '90s with Frank John and Alan Lavis, a monster player as are the other two guys, possesses a good dry sense of humour, loves his gear and it's hard to prize it from him. Has a wealth of knowledge abou...
