Does anyone know who this is?

Postby hickenjr » Mon Jul 13, 2020 3:10 pm

Been on a 90s UK Country nostalgia run today, using my best video stalking abilities to find old bands. There really isn't a lot of footage on YouTube of the 90s scene.

I tried stalking down some 70s footage/pictures of my dad's Leeds based band "Shiloh Country" to no avail...but brought up Billy Farnsworth who apparently fronted a band called Shiloh in the 90s.

Found this guy playing with him. It is really uncanny. Very similar set up to my dad and a very similar sound and style. I loved it but would like to know who it is?

Kind Regards, Steven Hicken Jr.

This is now solved.

The player is the late Ray Kingston. I've just been in touch with his grandson Kyle Kemble who inherited his Sho-Bud. Kyle is in his mid 20s I believe and is turning into a great player himself.

That is really good news Steven, we need more young players to leave us old farts further in the dust.....make sure he knows about the BSS.

I knew Ray but didn't know he had passed. He was a nice player and a nicer guy.
