DINO RANDHAWA'S BIOG
Dino first picked up a guitar when he was ten
years old after ditching the clarinet and confesses
that it was his Dad who first encouraged him to
play:
"Dad was always playing Hendrix and the
Beatles around the house and I used to just jam
along to tunes like 'Wild Thing' and 'Hey Joe' on a
budget, forty quid nylon acoustic that he bought me,
just soloing over the top of songs, nothing too
complicated".

Dino soon took up guitar lessons with local guitar
player Noel Martin who introduced the ten year
old to music from Led Zeppelin and Frank Zappa.
After a couple of years, Noel started taking his
young apprentice to attend weekly blues jams
in the back room of a pub near to Dino's home
in Palmers Green, North London.

After finishing his A levels and being accepted at
Sussex University, (now graduated) Dino
discovered that housemate James
also played guitar that Dino started practising again:
"James played me his EP Scrap Paper and we
started jamming together and then writing some
original material of our own. Then James
introduced me to Rob. The pair of them got me
along to record my guitar parts for the Melodious
Star EP and that's when Two Spot Gobi
happened for me".
