A one string guitar, recycled instruments and the roots of the blues

Filmed at the Winter Blues Weekender at The Exchange 1856 in North Shields, Colm Skwirbat and his father Juergen talk about handmade blues instruments built from recycled materials, including cigar box guitars, broomsticks, dog bowls and salvaged pickups. Colm explains the history of the one string guitar, tracing its roots back to the Mississippi Delta, where enslaved Africans created instruments from whatever materials they could find. He talks about discovering the blues through research and online archives, and how those traditions led him to explore cigar box guitars and one string instruments. Juergen shares how building guitars started by chance, sourcing cigar boxes, piezo pickups, old Fender Telecaster parts and everyday objects, turning them into playable blues instruments. What began with a single one string guitar quickly grew into dozens of handmade creations. The video closes with Colm playing a tune on the one string guitar, recorded live at the Winter Blues Weekender, showing just how expressive and powerful these simple instruments can be.
