I learnt about Bluegrass music from John Field when he lived in Cranford, Middlesex. I went to see him playing with The Malcolm Price Trio once and loved the sound of Caroi’s autoharp, so much so that I ended up getting one. I didn’t learn to play it until 2001 . I still listen to their LP The Malcolm Price Trio + One with John Field on Banjo.
Sadly I heard that John had just died, hence my return to the forum wondering if I ought to post about it but Kate has already done so.
