From Banjo Island on 5/8/2013 12:18:14 PM

As promised a little while back, here's a video of my current band in action...

It's definitely not bluegrass (!) but on this one at least, I'm playing fairly scruggsily.

It's a bit of fun, and seems to go down pretty well in the pubs round these parts.

If it's your thing, you can follow some links for a few more covers of maybe some Madness, various punk classics, and maybe even some Kylie Minogue if you're lucky (lucky lucky)... :) Or come and see us in person some time - we're playing somewhere in the West Country most weekends.

	Banjo Island says: 5/16/2013 9:16:33 AM Yeah, it's certainly been an epic battle trying to get a strong enough signal out of my pickup. Slowly getting there. I have a whole rack of preamps and booster pedals at my feet now to try to help - which kind of looks cool in the "rock" context, but still struggles to do the job. Fun trying though - especially when the band gets a full keg of cider on stage as a part payment!! :)
