Sean Moyses is regarded as one of Europe's top professional banjo players. He has been playing banjo since he was eleven years old, encouraged by his family who all played music. He soon mastered ukulele-banjo, mandolin, five-string banjo, guitar and plectrum banjo, and developed a love for jazz music of the 1920's and 1930's.
His ambition of playing with the famous Pasadena Roof Orchestra soon became a reality and with them he performed major concerts, television and radio broadcasts not only in England, but in Holland, France and Germany too.
He then moved into comedy with the hilarious Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band and visited over fifteen countries in six years doing concerts in true Spike Jones City Slickers style.
In 1996 he moved from England to reside in Germany. He formed his own jazz band, a ragtime duo and offered himself as a banjo soloist. He is a member of Rod Mason's Hot Five and has guested with such notable bands as The Barrelhouse Jazzband and The Euro Top Eight.

Please check out this week's uploaded video to THE LONG WAY HOME:A BIGFOOT STORY. If you like it, please comment and subscribe.The trailer for the movie had gotten great reviews as well! I have worked like a dog on this first feature and I am sincere when I say I thank you for checking it out and I want to hear from you. .....oh yea, and YES my "real" name is bubba and these are FRIENDS of mine—NOT actors(except for miss Eunice, the serpent handler!)

Thank you for the sweet comment. :) I like the idea of letting all my fellow Brit expats watch newer Brit comedies they may not be aware of or get to see otherwise, so I'll keep on uploading until the Beeb come and get me!
