Wayne has been involved in many styles of music from playing Tuba in brass bands, to bass in a rock band, and all points in between.
The current line up of Iscalis he feels gives him the opportunity to be able, once again, to perform in a more acoustic style, and enables him to make use of his favoured instrument the octave mandolin, along with mandolin.
