Ricky Tomlinson interview with the Lancashire Telegraph

[48jph]

its a 5 string banjo with the 5th string missing. He's playing plectrum style in g tuning.

It looks like a 4 string (tenor) banjo because I can't see a 5th tuner, but his hand could be covering it. I'm pretty sure in the tv show he uses a plectrum as opposed to finger picks, so I would guess at a 4 string. Hope this helps.

How many strings does he have on his banjo?

Ricky is a good man.

@annikee59 Yep, solid bloke with strong principles, and never got up himself when he got famous, like some do.
