Still Fretting

English banjo music - Rob Murch

Rob Murch plays the five string banjo; an instrument associated most frequently with American bluegrass music. Yet Rob’s repertoire is as English as it comes, and includes traditional country dance tunes as well as classic banjo pieces; all played with his own style and panache. As one reviewer commented, ‘A banjo is a happy instrument in Rob’s hands!’
