Hi Ladies & Gentlemen,
I have been tinkering around with Banjos for a little while. I have been trying both, Clawhammer & 3 finger styles (But mostly sounding like a Cat being strangled). To be perfectly honest I'm being drawn to CH the most.
I have a lovely Gold Tone Custom Long Neck, which is just waiting for me to improve. I don;t yet have the confidence to join my local folk nights. My favorite players would have to be
Dave Hum, Luke Kelly,Barney McKenna, Felix Sonnyboy Wilson (if you have never heard of him, then out it into youtube) & Tommy Makem. Sadly apart from 1 of these have passed on. My thoughts are still there for Mel & family, sorry to hear about Dave. He will surely be missed by all who knew him, or seen him play).
So, my question is this:
Are there any Banjo Players, the live in my locality?
I live in Lymington on the UK south coast, and I would love to hear from other players near me, no matter what their playing style, or taste in music.
Regards
Will
