Jodie and the Lost Boys - plus NBB

This is what happens when you work with amateurs and banjo players - or in my case both! Thanks to Jodie and the Lost Boys, you may never work again, but I loved it!

Wrecked'97 on the iRig

I borrowed Charlie's leccy guitar and plugged it in for some iRig fun.
It's a bit of a train wreck but I love this little box!

August Jam III

More from the August Jam.

Foggy Mountain Breakdown


I think we need to practice a bit more, as both tracks sound better at 110% speed.

Wreck of the Old '97

Tried this song with a capo in D at the seventh fret. Playing is coming on but the singing is shocking!

Another Singing Wreck

Had another go at singing and playing Wreck of Old '97.

You know what they say, no pain no gain, but I think it's better - maybe not!


MC Clawhammer and Carlos the Jakal played at an open-mike night last night - How'd you get on fellas?

Singing Wreck

I am a crap singer, but this is the first time I've been able to play back-up on a song and sing at the same time, so for me its an achievement!

I know - don't give up the day job!

Songs What We Have (almost) Learned

After posting a pretty lengthy song list for last nights jam we only got through six, and one of them wasn't even on the list. They sound pretty rough and ready, but its only our second practice together. Highlights are MC Clawhammer's Foggy Mountain, Cowboy Waltz and Irish Washerwoman.
