Equally beautiful things can be achieved with a jaws harp, a swannee whistle and a violin as with guitar and drums, and they're more than prepared to be using all or none of the above to make music. Left With Pictures is a band, in that there are certain core members, but if they meet the most amazing banjo player busking on the street, he'll probably be with them playing at the next gig. There are no guidelines. Left With Pictures' new EP is shaping up to be their most imaginative yet. leftwithpictures.co.uk myspace.com/leftwithpictures Mp3 Downloads: Do you want a piece? 1 2 3 Go The Night The House Came Down Request a copy of LWP's new EP HERE ArtisanLeft With PicturesNir GrahamOlfar_____ Influenced by american guitar music of the 90s and late 80s, particularly lo-fi and indie rock, Nir Graham is a leeds based singer-songwriter with a small but dedicated following.
