Little Mountain are a three piece group comprising Bob Wilkinson on finger-style guitar and vocals, Dave Cook on slide-guitar, guitar and vocals, and Jon Harrington on blues harmonica and vocals and percussion. They have continued to evolve musically since their earlier days exploring the possibilities of folk and blues. As always, much of what they play has a blues feel - as they draw upon influences such as Muddy Waters and early Rolling Stones, although they do stamp their own mark very definitely upon some familiar classics. On occasions, as musicians they plumb their own depths and older influences, and come up with an older blues number. Yet, even here, they consciously 'little- ountainise' the songs they play.

The musicians also tap into the contemporary folk scene, with obvious echoes of Dylan, Roy Harper, Nick Drake, Ralph McTell and Steve Earle. These influences come out in their more folk-oriented numbers written by the three individuals, with themes that are amusing, romantic, political and often
deeply personal. And of course, they also deliver their own interpretations of well-known and lesser-known songs from the contemporary folk genre.

The three musicians have each arrived from quite different musical backgrounds - from rock bands, from busking and playing the bars of Paris, to jamming in the revolving-door scene of their more recent incarnations as an emerging band. They periodically retreat as a band to a bohemian farmhouse near the Black Mountains - called Little Mountain. And it is from here that the musicians derive not only the band name, but also the inspiration that has given rise to some of their most poignant compositions.
Bob, Dave and Jon combine to create music that goes way beyond the limitations of their individual musical backgrounds
