Red Red Rose/3am Eternal/Call me Al. Hope and Social live at Deershed 2011


Mark at Great North Strum got some great footage of Hope and Social at the festival. I only saw a couple of bands as I was buzzing around like a blue arsed fly, but Go Team, Frankie and the Heart Strings and Admiral Fallow were my top picks alongside these guys. Thanks Mark.

Mandolin

I borrowed my brothers Stagg mandolin after being consigned to third banjo on our ongoing quest to find a band set up for 'Foggy Mountain Breakdown'. And I quite like it.

There are some remarkably simple chords G, D, C, F and some horrible ones - most of the rest, except Em.

So the plan is keep it simple and keep it in G or C, so here's Soldier's Joy in D!

The Deer Shed Calls

Posting might get few and far between in the next week or so as I'm working over at the Deer Shed Festival.

It's the second year and its doubled in size  since last time around - 5,000 happy campers we hope.

So unless I see you in a field in Yorkshire... here's some Go Team! so you know what you are missing.
