JAMES ROBINSONS:
James first picked up an acoustic guitar
when he was twelve but didn't take it up
seriously until he was fifteen. Having
been subjected to artists like Bob Dylan,
Crosby Stills Nash and Young and James
Taylor from a very early age, James
soon discovered that after a brief love
affair with an electric guitar it was the
acoustic sound that really grabbed his
attention: "When I first heard people
like Ben Harper, Jack Johnson and
Cat Stevens, I pretty much ditched the
electric.”

Apart from jamming with one or two
well known musicians on the Southwest
scene, James had never really played
or written any music with anyone else
until he met Dino and Rob: "I was living
with Dino but, although I didn't even
realise he played guitar at first, soon
we were jamming all the time. We
wrote a couple of quality tunes together,
but it all started happening after a mate
of mine introduced me to Rob, who
brought a brand new perspective to the
tunes we had composed. When the three
of us started writing and recording for
Melodious Star EP, Two Spot Gobi
was truly born".
