I've just noticed a shipment of Deering Banjos has arrived in our central warehouse! Keep an eye out for these landing in our shops over the next few weeks. hobgoblin.com/brands/deeri...
Tune sessions in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. Tunes from Britain, Europe and further afield. All welcome. Bring acoustic instruments of choice.
