Bill Evans was teaching bluegrass banjo a year ago, here in the UK at Sore Fingers Summer School in the Cotswolds. He's showing a superb width to his banjo mastery here. Cheers Ray |

I think they also have a few other dates in the run up to Easter so they might end up with sore fingers before they even get to Sore Fingers.
