Day One: I got home from school and was getting my banjo’s together and got ready. It was looking a little overcast so we were hoping for the best. We then left the house and had to stock up on food in Tesco, it was then I realised that I had forgot all my instruments (Duh!). After driving back home and collecting them all we then drove to the Cornish Bluegrass Festival at
Day Two: I woke up and had a shower straight away knowing there was going to be an Old Time banjo workshop a little later on, held by Helmut Rheingans from The Down Trodden String Band. The workshop was really interesting, next was Kate Lissauer’s Fiddle workshop about 2 hours later, there I played some more music. The Fiddle workshop was fantastic and very beginner friendly thankfully! We learned Logan County Blues; it’s an Old Time fiddle tune in D. Later on we saw Uncle Dave and because of their fantastic performance on Friday we saw The Buffalo Gals again. That night we headed to the Old Time area of the campsite and had a mini Old Time session with a couple of other musicians.
Day Three: I woke up a little later because of the two previous late nights and had a shower to fully bring me around. I grabbed my banjo and headed right back to the Old Time session. I was there with Bob Chase, Sib Riesen, Michele Brown, Nigel,
Thanks CBA and I am looking forward to next year’s festival already.
