Over the last decade, C Joynes has ploughed a singular furrow through solo guitar, with a body of work incorporating English folk tunes alongside North and West African music, and lifting proto-minimalist and improvised techniques from European classical and avant garde traditions.

Joynes has released eight albums to date, including The Borametz Tree (2019), recorded with longterm fellow travellers Dead Rat Orchestra, and The Wild Wild Berry, a collaboration with singer Stephanie Hladowski. He has played extensively across the UK, Europe and the US, sharing bills with performers including Shirley Collins, Martin Carthy, A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Marc Ribot, Alasdair Roberts, Richard Dawson, Jack Rose, Josephine Foster, Sir Richard Bishop, Six Organs Of Admittance and 75 Dollar Bill.
