I love it. If I didn't, I wouldn't listen to it. It's that simple. Keep it up

Here's my take of Lady on the Green, inspired by Steve Blakes' recent gourd fiddle / minstrel banjo recordings.
Played on a double headed Boucher copy that I made a couple of years ago.
Wandering Boy. I got this version from Lukas Pools' recent video... I definitely got some of his notes but many evaded me.

Here's Davy Davy on my "Oxlea" model. The Oxlea is a fretless tackhead banjo. Named after my local ancient woodland. English oak pot and beech. Neck construction is based on the 1850s Boucher banjo. This one has custom options of Ghoto tuners and frets. Standard price £700

A Hewett-Stainer banjo circa 1910 with very unusual patent tuners.

I also restore antique banjos. Here's what we think is a banjo by Henry Spratt. A prolific maker in the 1870s and banjo maker to Edward, Prince of wales. The neck is almost certainly Spratt but the pot is uncertain. Currently only 3 Spratts are confirmed extant.

Hi there. Welcome to my new bluesky page. If you don't know me, I make custom banjos in the hills of SE London. This is a video of my latest build, and last of 2024. Hope you like it.
