PADDY HARROWSMITH OF GREEN BUZZARD

What piece of equipment do you have to show us today?
My 1965 Airline BigHorn Guitar.

 

How did you come across this particular item?
I was in San Francisco and found it in a guitar store for $500.

 

What is it that you like so much about it?

I originally loved its green colour and strange shape. It was so striking. I’ve always liked weird guitars that aren’t your run of the mill brand or shape. Once I plugged it into an amp and started playing it, it sounded so amazing; I knew I had to buy it.

 

How do you use it, and how has it shaped the way that you write music?
I remember as soon as I bought it I began writing a song straight away with it in San Francisco. That song is called ‘Crystal Eyes’ and is actually going to be on Green Buzzard’s next release. I find whenever I buy a new guitar it inspires me right away to start writing something new on it.

 

Tell us a little about what you’ve got coming up.
We’ve just started a tour this week doing some shows around Australia, which is coinciding with the release of our first EP, then recording and another Australia tour with our mates DMA’s.
