I've been part of a four piece (Scruggs style) bluegrass band (banjo/vocalist, double bass/vocalist, guitar/vocalist & female harmonist) for quite some time now. We call ourselves (for want of calling ourselves something) "The Sheaf River Band" after a river in Sheffield of the same name.
For the past few months we've been getting together with 2 really good musicians, fiddle & mandolin players, and doing two monthly, (1st & 2nd Thurs), informal bluegrass evening in two different pubs in the Sheffield and Penistone areas, As you can imagine, this configuration, makes a really good bluegrass sound. Then sometimes there's other musicians, fiddles, mandolins, singers, guitars, come and join in the fun.
To put it in a nut shell, I have to say that I'm really enjoying the music at the moment and hope to continue for the foreseeable future.

Hurrah! Thanks for letting me join in at the Huntsman session, John. (Note to everyone else, I'm one of the "others" mentioned, not the "really good" fiddler. Ha ha....
