Now showing on UKBluegrass.com

At present our respected contemporary, UKBluegrass.com, is showing on the site's front page two videos that may have a special interest for BIB readers.

One is a thirteen-minute feature filmed at last month's Sore Fingers weekend in England. The BIB editor found it very evocative, and can assure viewers that the atmosphere shown is the same as at the main course in spring (allowing for more people being at the week-long spring event). You may even see faces that you recognise.

The other, half as long, is a 'Minnesota Originals' feature on Tom Nechville, banjo maker and innovator, who has made appearances at the Johnny Keenan Banjo Festival in Longford as well as many other locations in Europe. It shows Tom demonstrating the Heli-Mount system and other aspects of his revolutionary rethinking of banjo structure.

The Sore Fingers feature can be seen here on UKBluegrass.com, and the Nechville feature here. Both can be seen on the UKBluegrass YouTube channel.
