    One typo noticed … ‘Tenor, plectrun and other’. I’m guessing you mean ‘plectrum’?

    Hi i my name is Andy i play banjo, guitar and drums. Just new here so a little bit shy…Learned my banjo watching Patrick Costello videos. Is there similar video lessons on this web site?

    I would appreciate advice on purchasing and setting-up a suitable camera and sound, in order to experiment with arrangements and new tunes. Most efforts I have viewed , after gigs, have been on the rough side sound wise. However I note that most of the productions posted on the UK FOLKIES site are excellent.

    Hi there I’m still knocking around after being in and out and lurking about over the years. Still can’t play this banjo but still love evrything about it, so what the hey! Time is the issue and routines have been shattered, but life is good so can’t gripe.

    Loving the new site and intend to keep a more obvious eye out for what’s happening.

    Cheers!

    Hello I’m new so please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong spot. I’m based in the North East of England and my nom de banjeu is Harry Knibbs. I play quite a few instruments and know a lot of old songs although I’m very much an amateur. To prove it, this is me on Uke doing an old Tom Ashley number: http://soundcloud.com/harryknibbs/walking-boss

    Look forward to

    Sorry it took ages to post your stuff Harry, but I am lousy with computers. I did get help, and here you are. Thanks Dan! Dunno why it didn’t work for me though!
    Anyway – Welcome to you, and all our new members.
    Feel free to join in with anything you like, the more input we get the better the site gets. It matters not if you are talented, or, like me, just an appreciative audience.
    Best place to start would be General Chat, or Forum Press unless a specific catagory catches your eye.
    Hope you enjoy our company.

    Hi all , my name is Georgette , and im on here after comming across the forum on the internet . I am a very very new 23 year old singer / songwriter in leeds and im hoping that all you experinced folkies will direct me with your wealth of experince !

    I’ve been playing guitar for 4 months , and as you can guess that isnt really long enough to sound any good ! fortunatly i have two guitarist that acompany me who are fab !

    I very new on the scene , like in the last two months ! – but so far i have achevied , a live stream podcast interview- in the area finals of a national competition ( prize £30.000 investment and a record deal) – 2 radio acoustic sessions – another 3 booked for next year , a acoustic tour in leeds in march and ive just recorded my debut E.P – plus the gigs im doing too … ive been a busy bee !!!
    I was brought up on Jazz and spent every childhood holiday at Broadstairs Folk Festival right up until the age of 16 – and i think thats has influenced me.
    Since im a real newbie to all this theres loads of things im unsure of and im hoping to get some advice x
    Georgie .

    Hi,
    Name is Paul. Clawhammer Banjo player living in Suffolk. Been thrashing (or frailing) indoors for a while now. Just venturing out into the local Folk scene. There are armies of melodians out there.
    Been watching the old UKFolkies site since July thinking: “it all seems very quiet” Then I saw the link to here. Is there a 101 on this site? What is a ForumPress? I find Facebook confusing and Twitter (old I guess). I’d be grateful for an easy in to this site.
    Paul

    What’s the easy way to bung something up guys ?
    Or find something, cos I have missed stuff now and then ( But I am thick )

    Yes, I seem to be signed up to the blog, but am not sure whether I can post to the blog or not, haven’t tried very hard. But seem to be successfully on the forum. Thanks, Gill

    UK folkies are almost impossible to locate on the web. Why did you change from main Web Menue? Is it part of a plot to get rid of us?Or is it you do not wish the “strings and things” readership to reach 460 ?.Or is it this steam powered methuseleah bed-top ,just don’t like you ?Go on UK Folkies tell your public the secret.

    Hi Tony.
    Delighted to see that you survived the move to W Sussex.
    I am a complete dunce with computers, so can’t really help you on this one.
    I did however “google ” us, and we were right there at the top of the list, looks like we need someone intelligent to get us noticed more ( Any volunteers ? )
    Thanks for sticking with us.

    Just learning to frail, with the help of Costello Jr and Sr :) Patrick mentioned you in one of his (many) videos, so I thought I’d wander along and say hi :)

    Hi all, new to banjo (and here) but been playing guitar for the last 20 years (admittedly quite badly, but i get by). I have various guitars from teles to les pauls and 12 string acoustics. Now i own a banjo as well….
    only trouble im having is finding a local teacher to point me in the right direction. Living in Fife, Scotland and i cant find anyone nearby.
    Can anyone help?
    thanks guys

      Welcome to the gang !
      He is a long way from Fife , but check out Patrick Costello at Daily Frail . com
      Lots of free tuition from a superb teacher , and a really nice bloke.
      Hope that helps mate.
      Pete
