BBC1 TV 20:00 23 April 2025 For the fist time, The Repair Shop Series 14 Episode 15 of 25 First up in the workshop is a mandriola belonging to internationally celebrated folk musician Vin Garbutt. Vin’s son Tim and family friend Maggie are hoping Julyan Wallis can restore this piece of musical history so that it can be played again. Vin started his career in the 1960s, busking his way through Spain, where this instrument played an integral part in developing the strumming method that helped him become a globally recognised folk artist. After repairing the damaged bodywork, Julyan needs to restring and tune the mandriola to restore its original sound. Tim and Maggie are overjoyed when the item is returned to them, unlocking a piece of their father and friend’s past. (On a tour of Borneo, I understand that Vin was introduced as the Wild Man of Middlesbrough.)
