We had some stellar musicians visit us and try out instruments at Wickham and Shrewsbury - At Wickham the sun shone and Rupert Hughes and Niles Krieger (Often Herd) jammed Whisky before Breakfast on flatback and archtop mandos, we had some lovely tunes from Sam Wood (Ferocious Dog) and Evan Davies (Often Herd) on the new octave mandolin, and Phil Hardy (Kerry Whistles) busked away on a Tenor Uke!
At Shrewesbury with wind blew (thanks to hurricane Ernesto and storm Lillian) and even the guys from Le Vent du Nord swung by (!) along with Mike Cahen from the Elkie Brooks band. Kieran Zsifris, who plays octave mandolin in Katheryn Tickell and the Darkening is trying out one of my octaves in the video below, which attracted a lot of favourable notice at the festival.
