Sorry I have not been around on here for a while but i have been diagnosed with a brain tumour (Glioblastoma) back in September 21...its been quite a journey had my first operation a craniotomy in that month .After the operation my left hand just doesnt work properly . You can imagine how i felt not being able to play my treasured banjo. I had another operation in November last year the bugger came back,  I am doing ok 
  I just want to thank you for all your continued support.
I was very lucky to borrow this superb, recently made cello banjo built by Jim Heasell of SlimJIm banjos fame! http://slimjimbanjos.co.uk Cello banjos sound one octave below normal tuning. The tune is Roustabout, I learnt it from a recording by Old Time Banjer
