Jessie's Ghost
Here is the man who started it all for me, the Cajon player and singer from the King's Lynn based band Jessie's Ghost. Originally playing a factory self assembled Cajon, he approached me to make him a purpose made drum to suit his desired taste for his band. Discussing the construction techniques, finish, and teaching me the musical side of the drums, I made him the Cajon Drum he plays in his band today. I would like to personally thank Rob for his help, and consideration over the years. Please check out his band on Facebook:
