I once famously said I would never ever make a banjo. Well five banjos later I seem to have created a range of three banjo models A lesson in "never say never", so I won't but it's maybe time to give banjo building a rest

What? Just when you're getting into the swing of it? It could become a speciality of yours, Dave

Wow, have you got a recording g of that harp thingy? The "thingy" is "Father Jack" - a commission for Mike Floorstand that I've just finished and due for collection in the coming weeks. It's a mandola/mandolin banjo (CGDAE) with four sub bass strings. Hopefully when Joe gets his head around all of those strings there may be some recordings forthcoming. There's a documented build of "Father Jack" here on my website.

Stranger than truth Today Mike Floorstand came to pick up his "Father Jack" banjo and Frank Kelly - the actor who played the character in "Father Ted" - has died.

RIP Frank It's a comfort to know that his offensive and chaotic character's persona will live on in musical form, though
