Jeff Martin of 'The Tea Party' Interview - Talking guitar and song writing

A very impromptu and fortunate opportunity to interview Jeff Martin.

30 minutes after getting off stage of the final show in the Armada's 2009 Australia tour in Launceston Tasmania. It was 2am and I really didn't expect Jeff to oblige, but he did. Top guy!

In this interview he talks about never having a guitar based interview before, how to get started playing ethnic guitar, opening tuning and also reincarnation just to keep things dynamic :)

Check out my photos from there gig here:

Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery a few seconds later (and at pretty much the same time the asshole bar guy told me to leave cos they were closing.)

Ah, that´s too bad. Some people ( = this bar guy ) really do have a f**** up sense of timing!

But it´s great that you could capture this at all.

Do you remember any highlights from the rest? I´m a sucker for this esoteric / past lives stuff. Esp. when it comes from an artist I appreciate so much.
