I just returned from a 2 week trip to Ireland and UK. Most of the time was spent golfing, but we did take some time to check out the local pubs where we sampled a few pints and the local music. One band I am quite fond of is The Owls. They do not yet have any recorded material out to purchase, but I managed to get a copy of their demo tracks on CD from lead guitar player, Carl Cook. Carl is a lefty playing the Eastwood Ichiban Guitar. Their music is a treat and hopefully their first CD will be out later this year.

Update (from the Owls):

We’ve put an Owls track up online for people to download: http://owls.bandcamp.com/track/sound-of-the-call. Feel free to state that the Eastwood chiban was used on this track and that I feel it’s become an integral part of my guitar sound in Owls.
