Tenor guitar now available from Hobgoblin

If your group wants to get closer to the original sound of the Delmore Brothers (or, for that matter, the Kingston Trio), thank FOAOTMAD for the news that the Ashbury tenor guitar, made in China, is now available from Hobgoblin Music in the UK for €237 (£159). Full details and photo are here.

FOAOTMAD also announce that details, booking forms, etc. for February's Gainsborough old-time festival are not yet on their website, but the line-up will include Piney Woods (Kate Lissauer, Dave and Tim Bing, and Jim Martin) (USA); Adam Hurt (USA); Beth Hartness (USA); Down Trodden String Band (UK); Kitty Hawks (UK). 'Dancers will have the pleasure of Kerry Fletcher's tuition, and Kerry will be supported by fiddler Tim Brooks. All that and more...'
