Hi everyone. I am new to this forum, and quite new to the banjo - I play 5 string Earl Scruggs style, or I try to! I live in the south of Scotland, and wondered if there were other players anywhere nearby? I am going to the Springrass Bluegrass festival at Newton Stewart in May - anyone else going?
