Hey all,
Thought I should introduce myself; my name's Seth Swingle, and I'm an American banjo player recently installed in London. I'm looking for banjo students in the area and on Skype, and also in finding some people to play with.
About myself: I've played banjo since I was 10, and play basically all the old-time styles (clawhammer, index-lead and thumb-lead 2-finger, 3-finger, and up-picking, as well as some minstrel-era stuff). I'm really interested in field recordings of older banjo players and in obscure tunings and banjo-specific repertoire. I was Mike Seeger's apprentice for a year, I've been the Virginia State banjo player a few times, and I've been in the Clifftop banjo finals the last 3 years in a row (no blue ribbon yet, sadly).
If you, or anyone you know, is interested in broadening their knowledge of authentic old-time banjo, please drop me a line at sethswingle@gmail.com or give me a call at 07 943 698154. Oh, and I've got a website at sethswingle.com for the curious (with pictures of lots of weird banjos). Hope to meet some of you in the flesh soon!
