A neighbour of mine has come out and told me he plays 5 string Banjo, he has asked me if there are any old timey 5 string banjo things in and around York.
Can any one help?

Do they do folky stuff there?

I'd like to have a go if they do, I used to live next door to The Golden Ball when I were 4 in 1952.

They certainly do Al! Get your gear along some Sabbath Eve.

They do but it's very fast paced.
