Hi Bernard.
    Boneshaker is most definitely not "the Kamikaze band with a few slight changes". Our approach to the music is completely different. For a start we don't have a kit drummer or electric Bass, the rhythmic force comes from the tunes themselves and the way we arrange them. We also use a wider range of musical textures and dynamics. The instrumental line-up involves various combinations of Melodeon, Concertina, Guitar (electric and acoustic), Mandolin, Recorders, Whistles, Bagpipes, Bombards, and some subtle Bodhran.
   All the best PP
