I'm pretty in love with this duo. Martin Simpson showed me his latest banjo not to long back, made by Jason Romero, and I latterly found out how bloody good Jason and Pharis Romero are as performers. I love this kind of 'new old time' sound, and their harmonies are pretty sublime. I'm pretty banjo obsessed right now, so this is doing the job nicely, though they also have some great guitar duo and vocal tracks up on youtube.

Indeed he has - I have played it. Well, I have elicited some vaguely banjo-like noises from it, but Ian makes it sound fab!
