Subject: RE: Anywhere to buy a banjo in York (UK)?
In West Yorks there are a couple of possibles not already mentioned. In Leeds city centre there is a branch of Hobgoblin Music who are pretty good, but Leeds traffic system is absolute murder at the best of times.
In Bradford there is a second hand instrument shop called Manning's Musicals. Malcolm Manning is a cajun/zydeco squeezebox player, so caters to the folk world of instruments. Of course, what type of secondhand instruments in stock, can be total pot luck.
Either may be worth a phone call to inquire if they have anything fitting your needs.
You may also be interested in the Old Time gathering at Sewerby Hall, near Bridlington on the weekend of the Mayday Bank Holiday. There is a thread with information somewhere.
Quack!
