Hello Lance
Thanks for the nice words about Friday. I wasn't sure how you would like the Django stuff. I'm not really a Django type player but got roped in when Keith was asked to organise a Hot Club night as a one off, at The Fell, 3/4 years back. We all enjoyed it and it lead to gigs so here I am still doing it.
The bass player is Bruce Rollo. He is a slap bass specialist (ex Rockabilly) which seems ideal for that style. Bruce also plays with The Wildcats of Kilkenny - a fast & furious Irish Fiddle music type band.
Extrovert bahaviour all round I believe. He is quite a comedian but more important has really good time. I've found I really enjoy playing rhythm with Bruce on bass. After all my years playing I've come to conclusion the bass player is the most important guy in the band! A good bass can make ordinary players play their best. A poor bass can make good players seem ordinary.
You've probably known that for years!
Bruce & Keith have worked together for years on the trad scene - even round Europe a while back with a singer Marilyn Middleton Pollock. Keith is a fine banjo player who also builds Macaferri type guitars.
I recall selling Keith a banjo when I worked in Newcastle's numero uno music shop. I don't know if it was his first banjo; I think it may have been a tenor banjo, it was a long time ago.
