This is a live recording from last Thursday (June 27 2013) of me playing The Cuckoo Bird accompanied by Matt Elliott on the washboard and drums (simultaneously). While I have been playing with Matt for a number of years (he usually plays drums accompanying my electric guitar), this is the first time he has ever backed me while I'm playing banjo. For a number of reasons we were both too busy to get together for a rehearsal, so this is it, finding out how it's going to sound live on stage in front of an audience. Pretty bloody exciting. I owe a lot to Matt, I wouldn't even be playing banjo if it wasn't for him, because it was him lending me a banjo last year that got me started. In fact I finally returned his long-loaned banjo to him at this gig as I now have three of my own!
