Folk Acoustic Guitar Singer For Hire in the South West and UK-Wide Singers, Duos and Tribute Acts for hire.

Listen to Mark Wilderspin 

Essentially, I'm a 12 string player and this site especially features my beloved 1969 EKO Ranger 12 that I've had since new in 1970 and which is now tuned to DADGAD. I still use it for 95% of the repertoire. It was given a facelift in 2007 (See the 'Eko Restoration' section). Some say I could do with one too - OK...maybe in a year or two....

I am active as a solo performer and also as part of 'WildeWest' my duo with Alex West and which plays a mix of originals and US folk / country-rock covers by the likes of Steve Earle, Richard Shindell and Jimmy Buffet.

We have a good YouTube following and in summer 2008 were invited to headline at the QTUBE event in Leiden, Holland by our Dutch YT friends.   

Until 2007 I had a folk-rock band 'Winbush' and which enjoyed a good deal of local radio and press reviews in Gloucestershire, UK.


'SUPERB AMERICAN-STYLE FOLK-ROCK'
Johnny Coppin - Folk Roots, Radio Gloucester

'Winbush ... played an infectious blend of Americana turning in a particularly fine version of Steve Earle's Copperhead Road...'
Adam Horovitz - SNJ Stroud Fringe 2006 Review
