About the Junkyard Orchestra

Do you or anybody you know play an unusual (or not that unusual) instrument?
Would you be interested in adding your profile to our database that can be accessed by local musicians for recording sessions and collaborations?
We are looking for players of tablas, percussion, fiddles saxophones, piano, lap steel, harmonica, spoons accordions, oboe, banjo, mandolin etc
The list is endless but basically anything except guitar, bass and drums. We're based in Stoke-on-Trent, but we're happy to include musicians from anywhere if you're willing to visit our musical, curious, wonderful corner of the world.
Hopefully this gives people a chance for people to collaborate without charge, but that would be up to you to work out.
The Junkyard Orchestra is the name Tom Waits gives to his collection of unusual instruments, so hey, if it's good enough for Tom Waits, it's good enough for us.

On this site you can browse musicians by instrument or style by using the links on the right.

To contribute your profile, just email editor@localedition.org.uk. Include your name, instruments, location, what you are interested in collaborating on, favourite musicians/influences and the contact details you want listed or Myspace pages (we can forward messages by email if required)
