Fairfield, a street musician who plays banjo, fiddle, and guitar and sings traditional folk songs as you would imagine they were sung when they were first written, is only just getting used to the idea of playing music venues alongside rock musicians. He is also an avid collector of 78 rpm recordings of American folk and mountain music and is working on plans to build his own spring motor gramophones.

Fairfield is not only unsigned, he hasn’t even recorded an mp3 yet, but he gives an absolutely amazing live performance. He is skilled at acoustic guitar, fiddle, and the clawhammer style of banjo; and when he performs it’s as if he channels some old mountain man or backporch country blues singer from the early 1900’s.

    I missed a gig of his due to cash flow which left me sad, I however was surprised to catch him at Doune The Rabbit Hole Festival and he was great, his energy and authentic bluegrass style left the audience fully tuned into him.

    I saw him play at the Meredith Festival in December. Sure Grinderman was the festival highlight but Frank was an unexpected (to me) 2nd. Amazing tapping feet.
