Whatever happened to Ian Sharp

Many years ago I met an excellent Bluegrass group from England whose leader was Ian Sharp. Since then I haven't heard anything of them or him. He was from Darlington if my memory is correct ? Ian was a terrific banjo player who was kind enough to send me some instructions on that instrument back around the early 1990s and they were a great help.

Ian is still living in Darlington and is still teaching banjo. The band was Huckleberry Hollow and they played at the Athy Bluegrass Festival in 1993.

Also part of a band known as Willowcreek. They perform in Darlington market place on a Sunday.
