For 40 years Dik has played his mix of "Acoustic Roots & Blues" at concerts and festivals in Scotland, England, Brittany, France, Europe, Scandinavia, U.S. and West Africa. He grew up in Chicago USA in the 1950s and 1960s, he was influenced very early by the blues, swing and other styles of American guitar music. Dik is inspired by the best of traditional and contemporary fingertyle guitar methods.
He moved to Scotland in the late 1960s and was known to his contemporaries as "Almost Blind Boy Banovich" in Glasgow because of his "percussive fingerpicking" style. His fingerpicking style is unique, mixing blues, ragtime fingerpicking with "frailing banjo" styles - rhythm and melody together. Sometimes described as a mix of Lightning Hopkins, Big Bill Broonzy, Mississippi John Hurt and the traditions of bluegrass, Scottish and Irish music, but in fact we hear his life and his guitar in the blues tradition, but with the influences of 'today.
