Over the weekend I went to see a concert by a "famous name" folksinger (naming no names :) ). To be fair they did a couple of workmanlike sets but I have the feeling that the whole act would have been ordinary if it wasn't for the backing musicians. These guys played up a storm on a whole range of instruments and were completely involved in their music. When one of them did a solo it got the biggest cheer of the night!

makes me think that there are a whole lot of really good "second fiddles" lurking in the background who should get a bit more limelight.... Any nominations?
